Awesome Internetting from the last month.

New Blog Subscriptions

• Tracy Zager has been one of my favorite math voices on Twitter this school year and she’s now blogging. She’s also recently announced a fight with breast cancer and has requested that we “Please help me remember that I have thinking and ideas to share, and am involved in a world bigger than this right now.”
• Annie Fetter’s work at the Math Forum has always been impressive and it’s a total oversight I hadn’t realized she writes a blog until now.
• Tim McCaffrey and I share a lot of the same enthusiasms. He helps districts run lesson studies around three-act tasks and just started blogging about it.
• Matt Bury had positively invaluable commentary during last month’s adaptive learning discussions.
• Dan Burf, a/k/a Quadrant Dan, is a new teacher who has been using my old, old lessons, which is kind of fun to watch.
• Amy Roediger, whose writing on Classkick was extremely useful.
• Julie Wright is full of promise.
• Just Mathness is full of promise.

New Twitter Follows

• Patrick Honner: “I’m sure Benny would do quite well at this.”
• Bob Lochel, who is a regular in our Great Classroom Action features.
• Kelly Stidham, who lit up my blog this month with a comment about online professional development.

Multimedia Math

I make an open offer to my workshop participants to help them with their video editing. A couple of newcomers to multimedia modeling came up with these two tasks:

• Candy & Chips, for systems of equations.
• Apples for All, for unit fractions.

Great Tweets

• An interview with a teen writer from The Santa Fe New Mexican.
