For this assignment I looked Google Earth “gearth” because I teach math and advanced math and I am currently trying some of these lessons out.Wow, I was just blown away with the following site realworldmath.org. This site although new has very intrusting real world math application lessons. This is something I was trying to find for some time now, I looked at the currency exchange site and how important is it for students to know the exchange rate of the world. We are currently becoming a very global economy and with Mexico so close student will have to learn the importance of other countries exchange rates. I really loved how Google created this program to target students to better understand Math and really fall in love with concepts. It is what many Math teachers have said in the discussions boards our wiki’s and it just makes Math more visual an appealing for students.
Currently Google only has a couple of lessons on the site and are wanting to place more with more teacher feed back so it looks like teachers are really going to have to share this information and have them promote it to each other. The site is free and wow another lesson that just is amazing is Sketch up from Google what an awesome way for students to just fall in love with engineering and marketing. This is a great site for many visual learners or students who have a passion for the arts. Imagine being able to create a product from scratch and being able to present it to the class. The days of two dimensional objects are gone and welcome the three dimensional world of math as it should be.
