Post 1: math and web 2.0

Google Docs-
 Google docs is one of the new things that we are using this year in math. We use it to contribute ideas for class, we also use it for getting homework and for turning homework in. Google docs is different from a word document because everyone can contribute to the same document. I made a google doc for vocabulary from Chapter One here is the link- http://bit.ly/aw57gX

Google Groups-
Google groups are a group of people with google accounts who get together to form a group. My math class formed one called Orange  and we can see documents such as our homework that only our class can see. It is pretty cool!


Twiducate-
Twiducate is a version of twitter but for schools. It lets us talk about ourselves, talk about things before class and about due dates. So far I have shared a math video and website, and said somethings about myself. I think that twiducate is a very easy and convenient way to talk as a math class. It can help a lot when you have questions and people from your class are able to answer them. Here is the link - http://bit.ly/ajrw7j
