1. Describe something you learned.
Loads of Web 2.0. The formation, taking of, logging in of surveys for data collection onFathom, the use of the CBR with Fathom (awesome and far less equipment needed when you can hook it straight into the computer and skip the calculator interface) - worth the $95 or so - great contribution this morning.
2. What do you still have questions about or would still like to learn?
I will need to practice more of the various logging in and accessing of the different applications on line. The use of the Fathom features is becoming smoother, but still needs lots of practice.
3. What applications are there to classroom practice?
Much of the work this morning teaching lines, graphing, relationships are immediately transferrable. The sequence/learning progressions was a great model for me to follow with students who are less comfortable or new. The CBR work enhances the predictive and intuitive conceptual understanding of slope and intercept -- the REAL knowing, as opposed to the head-nodding knowing.
Creating surveys to collect personalized data will be VERY compelling in all the coursese, not just the math classes!
I like the way your blog sums up the day and also communicates what you are concerned about. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. No wonder I'm tired. We did cover a lot. We will stay in touch, either directly or through Mary Jane, throughout the school year. I'm excited to hear how our collective work this week plays out in the classroom.
