Hello students and welcome to my blog! I created this blog during one of my summer master's courses which allowed me to learn many different technologies that I will be implementing into our classroom this coming year. I hope that you enjoy your experience with blogging within our classroom! Rather than writing typical paper and pencil journal entries this year, we will be using this blog to reflect on various topics we touch upon within our 6th grade math class.
After we complete the Section 6.5 lesson on Fractions, Decimals, and Percents (p. 310) please complete the following journal entry by posting a comment to this entry. Please ask me if you have any questions!
Fractions, Decimals, and Percents Journal Entry (6.5): For your journal entry today, I would like you to explain how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents in your own words. Please give an example of each type of problem.

Final Class Blog (Week 5)
As I look back on our last five weeks of class, I realize the abundance of new technologies that I now have under my belt and the benefits of each for educators and students. First, I want to say how thankful I am for the understanding I now have about the invisible web. In addition, I hope to share this knowledge, along with my new found understanding of blogs, wikis, scavenger hunts, and webquests to better equip my colleagues and students.
On a professional level, I feel that blogs will be the most useful in collaborating with staff, taking part in professional development opportunities, and sharing information with other educators, parents, and students. I am also looking forward to sharing the websites we have been provided with to better prepare other educators while incorporating technology into their classroom environment.
In terms of my students, I am sure they will find the scavenger hunts and webquests to be extremely beneficial and educational. I also hope to use blogs as a means for students to post journal entries and share ideas.
I am excited to learn from others about the continued benefits and suggestions on these new technologies as schools transition creating tech savvy environments. Good luck to everyone in their future endeavors and thank you for all of the information you have shared!
