Current Issues - Week 8 - Part 3

Today, I finally completed my Issue #5 assignment and, with it, Week 8 of Current Issues.  I wrote about CMCs.  I found it to be a rather time consuming project, to research and write about which format should be used and then to research and write about a plan for designing and implementing the particular CMC.

I ended up selecting a wiki.  I really feel like wikis are a great thing and are very useful and will be beneficial for any businesses or classrooms that adopt them.  They are capable of enabling so much learning and production.

In the process of reading about wikis I also came across an article about Google Docs, something that I had not looked into or learned about yet--despite hearing it mentioned often.  I was very impressed and excited about the potential of this tool.  I plan to suggest that our school's math teachers use Google Docs for things that we are creating together, like assessments or lessons.  What a great resource!
