The Final Mission – MTBoS #8

The challenge this week is a sort of meta-sharing challenge. Sam has asked us to share about what/how we share.

One of my roles here in my school is that I am the Math Dept Chair. I also chair a technology committee here. One of the really joys of diving into the MTBoS community is that I am finding resources to share with my colleagues. I send out multiple emails per week sharing ideas that I have run across.

For example, in the last few weeks, here are some of the links I have sent out

To a tech committee colleague – http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2013/11/inquiry-learning-ideas-for-math-and-science-with-ipads

To the whole tech committee – http://www.thethinkingstick.com/why-i-still-want-ms-and-hs-to-have-a-laptop/

To my Algebra I and Algebra II teachers – http://rationalexpressions.blogspot.com/2013/11/exponents-without-repeated.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ratexp+%28Rational+Expressions%29

To our STEM director – http://emergentmath.com/2013/10/30/a-problem-based-learning-starter-kit

To my Calculus team – http://www.epsilon-delta.org/2013/10/chain-rule-getting-better.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FkgQwd+%28Epsilon-Delta%29

To my Geometry team –  http://mathwithbaddrawings.com/2013/10/16/two-column-proofs-that-two-column-proofs-are-terrible/

These are just a few examples of how I’ve been inspired to share some of the wealth of riches I’ve found on the web through the MTBoS community.

    1. In our upper school we have 5 full time math folks and 7 sections split among four others. Our middle school team is 4 teachers and one part-timer.
      I’m also in the habit of pestering colleagues at previous schools with these emails.
