Update + Matrix Operations

As you could have noticed by some references below I've been into matrix operations lately. Two reasons have pushed my interest in this 1: I'll be student teaching in August at a local High School and this is a subject I'm going to be teaching, and 2: (and this is probably more influential at the moment) this is my theme unit for my Education Technology and Design class I'm currently taking this summer. (BTW, this is the last class I'll ever have to take!!! Woot!) (...well, besides grad school someday...)

So, I have been doing a lot of research and spending a lot of time and energy into learning different ways to teach matrix operations (addition, subtraction, and multiplication) and specifically how to better use technology in my instruction. I have to admit, I've learned a lot of cool websites lately and even learned to use some nice software (evidence of that can be seen here), but my favorite by product of new knowledge has so far been connecting the way I interact and socialize electronically to how I can interact with my students. Blogging obviously can be applied as a classroom resource, shared documents and wiki's, twitter, and even social networking can all be incorporated into a learning environment.
