Use of Blogs in Mathematics Classroom

[Name of Subject]Use of Blogs in Mathematics Classroom

Introduction

Creating a professional online community of students is one of the elements of long-term professional development project with the overall aim to improve the employability and technical teachers to use and interpret technical data evaluation. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of blogs as a teaching tool in mathematics class.

Web-based media has changed the way of communication and knowledge of the individual, but the use of these media for mathematics is new (Oldknow, 2010, p.12). Today, almost every member of the faculty in higher education has the ability to build a course website, which allows interaction between students and faculty; this means that blogs could be for learning mathematics easily.

Discussion

The integration of information technology and communication in the learning environment is undoubtedly one of the greatest needs of the students and therefore one of the daily challenges for teaching, for they know that in the age of information, when there is plenty of technology tools, blog has also become one of the important tools for the mathematics class.

A blog also known as weblog, is a website that allows to publish web material and update as as desired and the teacher is free to allow creating relevant material, making it possible for readers (students) to interact through comments can write their opinions and queries (Olson, 2011, p.23).

The blog is a space for the corresponding link which helps the students to learn and exchange their knowledge. Mathematics is the subject which needs to have extensive knowledge sharing and 24/7 help. Blog is the latest tool that will help students to bring excellence in their work.

The procedure by which the blog is supportive of the class is simple. The blog in principle consists ...
