Learning to be Blogging

We Made This ...

We were at Learning 2.011 || =Learning to Be ...= "When students learn, they learn both information and a set of practices, and the two are inextricably related." (Learning and Understanding, 2002)

In order for students to learn mathematics well they need to participate in some of the same activities that mathematicians do. Their learning is best informed not only by learning what to do, but by learning what it's like to be a mathematician. Doing and being are inextricably linked. In our cohort we'll focus on helping our students not only to "do" math but to create math.

Much of what we'll be doing in this cohort is motivated by the ideas shared by John Seely Brown in the video below.

There will be a lot going on the next two days and we'll need to get organized. I'm looking for a volunteer to be **our D-in-C, Designer-in-Chief,** to keep our collaborative Google Doc pretty and well organized. You're invited to join our doc now !

If you want to add our collaborative Doc to your Google Account sign up here or login to your Google account before you click the link above. If you've clicked it and logged in afterward just refresh the page.

=The Plan := =Learn a little, laugh a little, play a little ... every day a little.= If I forgot anything here you can find everything you need at zombo.com. On twitter, the hash tag for our little group is: **#lrn2math**

Find the math in the world around you, take a picture of it, create a digital mind map and make your thinking transparent.
