Learning math via a blog and a wiki
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.
