Blog 7 - Resources for the Classroom

I was talking with our school's math coach, Lynne, this week, and we were discussing the availability of resources and how they can be organized to best meet the needs of the teachers. There are tons of resources out there! From websites to collaboratively created assessment, there is an abundance of resources for teachers! She was reviewing the Wiki of a math coach in our county, and were discussing the pros and cons of the site. Lynne is also creating a Wiki for the math teachers at my school. We talked about ways to make it user friendly. One weakness of the Wiki that we were discussing is the lack of organization. It's important, when organizing resources - websites, created tests, etc - that there be some sort of structure to the website. Whether organized by grade level, unit, or standard, there has to be a structure. I am eager to see how Lynne organizes the Wiki for our school.
