A discussion board will be created that will allow both student and instructor the ability to reflect on their experience using PBworks. This discussion will also include feedback from the students on the how they felt this environment affected their math experience weather it improved or enhanced

Audience:

Parents of and students enrolled in my Math classes 5-8

Making Connections:

The learner will make connections with:
• Previous Knowledge: Within this scenario participants must have previous knowledge of navigating the Internet and creating log-ins. Participants must also retain the knowledge of lessons taught in actual math classroom.
• Relevance: This environment is necessary and important to improve the participant’s math experience. It will provide an excellent tool for participants to use not only in their current class, but future math endeavors.
• Audience: PBworks offers unique interaction ability, where the participants can interact with other classrooms around the world or around the block. This allows participants to share and compare learning styles within this environment resulting in the creation of cultural connections.
