Podcast post #2
Http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=15069
This Site is for Dan the Math Man. I gave the link to the Site as there are numerous Podcast and topics to chose from. I listen to #7.

This Podcast was based upon a Magraw-Hill math text (the Podcaster was an author of the text). During the audio, chapter 8 was covered dealing in the definitions of equations and expressions. These were explained in easy to understand terms so that students in the middle school or lower-level high school might understand. I enjoyed this so much that I am going to post the link to my classroom Website so that I might direct my kids to this helpful tool.
After discovering this Site, I felt that I had been out of touch with the most current technology available.
As my teaching position next school year is middle school math, I clearly see how I could use the podcast as an activity to further student understanding. Also, for those students at the top of the class, I can see how this could be used to expose the students to higher levels of math.
Thank you Dr. Newberry!

    Yes, for the past year and a half I have been long-term subbing in P.E., fifth grade, middle and high school. I found that I really enjoy working with middle school (where I was hired) or high school.Any offers of direction, links, or other types of assistance will be greatly appre iated.
