Who am I?
I’m a high school math teacher named Amanda. Last name to follow as soon as I decide whether or not to take my fiance’s.
I have 92 days to figure that out.
Why am I starting this blog?
I want to quit spamming my facebook friends with ed-related material. I want to be able to easily round up things I encounter online and share my opinion. I want to talk about books I’ve read and neat things that I’ve discovered. I want to be able to occasionally share mathy things that are beyond the scope of my 53-minute lessons.
…because the internet is a seriously cool place and I want to keep a record of all of the resources I find.
I eventually want to add links to course materials for my students, so that they can easily catch up when they miss a day. Right now, I’m only twenty-something, but I feel like keeping well-connected is the first step in staying young and hip.
What am I going to talk about?
Books! I’m currently reading The Smartest Kids in the World by Amanda Ripley.
Grad School! (If I get in…)
…and all of the other strange things I learn from teenagers on a daily basis.
