Marshall Computer Lab: 2012

Greetings!

I hope all is well and that you are enjoying school! Today we are going to do two activities. The first activity you will visit two web sites. They are math measurement sites and the links are below. Choose at least 2 that you think will challenge you. The idea is to PRACTICE measuring.
After you are done you will post a blog, responding to the following questions:

*What did the sites I visited teach me about measurement?
*Why would it be or not be important to learning about measurement?
*Were the sites too easy, too hard or perfect for my level? Tell why.

As you visit these sites think about a few things: After you have experienced the site, I want you to evaluate it. Review the questions (above) that you read before visiting the site(s) and post a message that evaluates one of the two sites you checked out.

Your post will need to be at least one paragraph and it will answer the questions above.Before you begin review the directions for posting on the blog.
1. At the bottom of this post, click where it says “Comments”.
2. Type your paragraph in the “Leave your Comment” box.
3. Type in the Word Verification.
4. Type in the Username alvarado & Password *******.
5. Click on the orange “Publish your Comment” tab.

Good luck I look forward to what your opinions about these sites are!

Bonksuno (Mr. Bianchi)
