Kimberly Hefty: EDTECH Learning Log 
Kim,
You did an amazing job with this video! I love the slides and your reflection is very poignant. I have to admit that I love reading your blogs because you deal with the same subject and it is so interesting to get another math teacher’s point of view. I think you bring up so many excellent points about how multimedia can make math more interesting to students. I love what you said about math being a difficult subject to teach and learn and that hypermedia can help draw the connections students need. You clearly did a lot of great research for this project and it showed! Great work.
Marci
Kim,
Thank you for sharing your view on multimedia in the classroom from a Mathematics standpoint. I thought your points were well researched and organized in a logical sequence. The section about how students must understand how math constantly builds upon itself hit home, as most of our high school students enter the 9th grade with lower than average math skills.
Kim,
Thank you for this thorough and elaborative discussion of multimedia in mathematic classes. Helping students visualize abstract concepts and making the subject come to life is an absolute advantage. I liked how you brought research findings to your discussion in order to make your argument convincing. Great work on this video!
