Learning math via a blog and a wiki

14 Oct 2006 · Posted in Computers & Internet, Learning, Mathematics 

I came across this AP Calculus AB blog where the contributions are made by the math class. There is a great mix of posts on the concepts being studied, on how to do problems, some inspirational pieces and jokes.

They also have a wiki for sharing solutions. I quote:

This is a place for students to help each other learn by writing a collaborative solutions manual! This counts for marks. You must make at least two edits/contributions to the wiki. One must be a significant contribution and the other must be a constructive modification.

It’s sad that we feel that we always have to assign marks to get students involved.

Anyway, good luck to them.
