Hello everyone. My name is David Tidwell. I live in Webster Groves and am a high school mathematics teacher. I think technology is very important in the classroom and in everyday life. Just tonight, for example, I emailed my tax information to my aunt (who is also my accountant) and saved myself a lot of time and some postage. I used a scanner to scan the information sheets and saved them on my computer to send via email to my aunt.
In the classroom, I use a scanner to scan information and good documents that I find to help create lessons. I use Smart Notebook technology for my SmartBoard I use at school. The students really enjoy it. I have a few mathematics websites I like to use including http://www.regentsprep.org/ and our book website http://www.glencoe.com/. Last year, I had students use digital cameras to create an instructional video using moviemaker in our school computer lab. The students really enjoyed the experience as did I. Students also use various calculators in the classroom. Teaching students how to correctly use certain aspects of the calculator is important, especially if they are using a graphing calculator.
Last year, our high school administrators had teachers respond to a blog instead of having a formal faculty meeting. That was my first experience with blogging.
