Hey folks!  Here's the link to my blog on interesting math and science related items aimed at my middle school students.

  1. Hey Zac - Great site. You've created an easy-to-use outlet for students to see multimedia material. I especially like that Melodysheep/Symphony of Science video. - Robert Moushon

  2. I liked you added video. A blog doesn't have to be all text.

  3. Hi, Zac. I liked how you embedded videos. Since it's youtube, students can always go to the original link and read comments by someone other than your blog visitors which I assume are your class students. It's a great way to link your students and broaden their view to the outside of class. -Joo Yun

  4. I am really amazed by this video and the relationship between doodling and math. I think this is interesting but not anyone could do it from the first try. It is a little bit complicated and hard to get I think. I watched a video about math and columns and how students could deal with calculating with no calculator. Check this out

  5. Like many of our class mates, I love that your blog is embedded with videos. A lot of text can be intimidating as a reader, but your videos are fun and relevant. Students would love exploring this as a supplement, I'm sure.

  6. This is awesome! The video does move very fast but I think that may also go with the general talking of how many students speak daily. Could also result in a lesson on speaking. I know I have to think about how fast I talk sometimes. I love that there's a connection between doodling and math as well as the Fibonacci sequence and nature. I recently picked up a book that makes that same connection between math and nature. Makes you want to say, "hmmm". Great video post. Definitely one I will have to share! (Jenn Lares)

  7. Zac I appreciate the simplicity of your blog. It is easy to navigate. Just as our textbook mentioned, blogs in educational settings can serve many purposes. I like that you focus on a narrow topic and incorporated multi media. -Ell

  8. Zac,

    Great blog. You're bringing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math together in a digital environment. These videos and easy to read descriptions can help students see the common ground among core academic classes.
