Aside from first term, I also teach Algebra online. I found that I was sharing a number of concepts over and over, so I created a webpage that contained a number of downloadable "cheat sheets" which has worked well. I am not sure a blog would be advantageous in a math class, as it is important to have all the elements in one place. I am also unclear as to why we would want to promote students "participating" in a location that will not add to their grade and give us additional work. In my minds eye I could already see students complaining about having to go to a blog when the school requires that they post in the discussion board area. As well, as an adjunct there are already so many expectations of how our time is spent, I am not sure I would have the time to go outside of what I am already doing in my classrooms. Just my thoughts, what do you all think?
