In this course I use a Web-based discussion tools for asynchronous conferencing between students and a teacher.

It is easy to use, even for beginners, and provides the opportunity for students to work in teams,

exchange ideas, and to distribute information to a widespread audience.

Online worksheets, quizzes and tests are excellent supplement to a regular "live" class instruction and assessment.

Each lesson in the course concludes with a discussion on the BB or through the mailing list.

Students are encouraged to discuss or debate these topics with their classmates.

Their responses will be archived in a conference area and will provide the basis for a portion of their final grade.

All students of math classes will be given access to the Chat Area and the Web Conference Room.

Variety of helpful interactive tutorials will be offered through the class Web Sites.

Mental computations are strongly encouraged in my class.

Math Baseball is an excellent game that helps students to learn how to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers without a calculator.

All parents are welcome to participate in our class online activities.
