Welcome to the first ever MSHS Trig Blog!!!
This is all very new to me, but I am excited about the opportunitity to help students online. As we begin this new adventure I am aware that many of you are experienced "bloggers". You may already participate in social networking sites such as Live Journal, My Space, Facebook, etc. These sites are basically journaling tools. Our TRIG BLOG will be VERY different - we will use blogging as an educational tool to share and build understanding of the topics we discuss in class.
I have started this TRIG BLOG to allow an assigned student, the "scribe", to post a review of the day's lesson. Students may then post additions, corrections, or questions regarding the lesson or any of the homework problems. Students who post additional information or answers to questions will receive an "early bird credit".
"GROUND RULES" This site is strictly "business" for our fall trig classes. It is not a forum for any personal issues. I expect all students to be professional when using this site. Any non professional uses will be disciplined according to our student handbook and code of conduct policies.
I have done some research this summer on similiar math blogs. This should be a great resource for all of you to get the "extra help" you need. I don't promise to be online with you every night, but occasionally, I will "check in" and offer my help. I will check the site each morning before school and note the questions and problems you are having with previous lessons. This will help me to know exactly what you need help with that day in class.
I'm looking forward to a great semester!!!
