Chalkboard Still Best for Math

I felt that our recent power point project for SEDU 183 was very open-ended. It gave students the chance to express their creativity and apply power point in the classroom in new and different ways. The main struggle that I ran into, however, is that math is a hard subject to incorporate power point into. Math is best done on pencil and paper or on the chalkboard. That is why I used my power point mainly as a reference tool for guided practice.

    I look forward to seeing your powerpoint. I agree that math is easier to understand when the teacher is working through the problems with the students. A chalkboard or whiteboard might be preferable, but have you ever considered using a SmartBoard?

    After I figured out all the tricks to PowerPoint I found it fun and the ideas are endless. I think knowing how to do math is different from teaching math, it can be tricky but one of the classes I am taking this semester really helped me out with a 2nd grade Math lesson.
