Math journals are difficult for students because they usually ask the students to write about their math understanding. The act of writing can limit what students communicate becuase it isn't what math usually requires. However, with the use of technology my aim is to make students feel more comfortable and thus communicate to the best of their ablilty. I have created a math classroom on Google Classroom in order for students to access the information and hand in their final creations easily. I have created 6 prompts or questions based on the math unit we are currently finishing. They have been asked to chose one to answer either in Google Slides or on the iPads using Explain Everything. I have attached a rubic to the assignment so students will know what criteria I am looking for. I am excited to see what students come up with!
