Fun Making the Class Website

I was so excited about creating a fictional class website that I finished it early (except for the iMovie which I haven't made)! I thoroughly enjoyed making a little website of my own and being able to add my interests and link that to mathematics! I love watching movies and one of my favorite pages I created is the "Math Movie of the Month." One might not realize this, but there are tons of movies out there that feature interesting math concepts and history. And they're anything but dry like textbooks present mathematics to be (in most cases)! Harvard math department has a wonderful collection of math movie clips. Be sure to check them out if you're interested! I think watching movies that feature mathematics is a great way to appreciate the creativity, beauty, and humor in the subject of mathematics. Now I wonder how I can incorporate another one of my hobby (cooking) into teaching mathematics and into my future classroom website.

I would definitely use a class website when I teach. A class website is a great place for both the students and the teacher. For the students, a class website can keep track of all their assignments, supply useful web resources, and help them stay in contact with the teacher. For the teachers, it's a great place to express their teaching style, philosophy, and connect with the students and parents.
