When classes began on January 7th, I was not
mentally nor physically prepared for the beginning of the semester. While I have taught this technology course
for several years, each spring it is different because the nature of the
content and the students. This semester
will have an additional challenge because the class is larger than normal, 19
students. Since we have 14 weeks in the semester, we will have 2 blog posts
some weeks. This will also make it
challenging for presentations as the students won’t be able to do individual
ones.
While this class challenges me every spring, I love teaching
it. Most of the students in the class
were in my geometry class in the fall so they have formed relationships with
each other and that will make the class more fun. As usual, there will be tweeting using the
hashtag, #Math371. In fact one of the
students already tweeted with that hashtag!
Once again I brought up the idea of having them learn
programming and it was met with some groans, with the exception of one student
who seemed excited. He may be the one
teaching us how to program and he wants to use Python.
I look forward to learning a lot again this semester!
