I have created some blogs on maths lit so please go and leave some comments:

• Teacher perceptions of issues in implementing Maths Literacy
• ICT-4-Champions
• Yahoo 360⁰ blog

Our maths lit teachers blog: Al the Ml teachers blogs will be linked from here: 

Why should I create a blog?

As we are all new at ML, it would be great to see, hear, experience what other teachers are doing in their ML classes. As we do not have a lot of time to meet face to face to discuss what we are doing, reflecting about our teaching using a blog can be a great way to do this! This means that other teachers can comment on what we doing and support us. By commenting on what other teachers are doing we can remove the feelings of isolation that some of us are feeling and get some sense of whether we are going in the right direction. REMEMBER we are ALL new at this. So don't feel that others know more than you- you may be more creative....

So what do  write about in my blog?

That is entirely up to you! But what would be helpful for other teachers is to...

• know which textbook you are using

• Tell us about what your day 2 day problems are (yes we can learn form each others problems!) and I am sure you will have a lot of "takers" to support you and share their problems...

• Tell us about how your learners are doing...are they happy/sad/impossible

• Tell us about your success stories...

• Tell us about additional resources you are using

• ..........

Right time for you to create your own blog
