I just put the finishing touches on the first version of the Math @ Williston App for my classes. You can check out and install the app right here: MyApp.is/WillistonMathematics
You can load the app in any mobile device as well as in your browser. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Here’s what the app looks like:

It’s a big year for technology in the classroom at Williston. 550+ Surface Pros have been deployed to the eager hands of every student and faculty member. The WiFi network has been amped up, and Schoology is being used in every class. Here’s what I have planned for my classes:
OneNote: Everything that I present will be done through OneNote and projected onto the board. I am also requiring that all of my students complete all of their homework in OneNote. My presentation notebook is shared with all of my students. This means that (as long as they have an active internet connection) they will have live access on their own Surface to the notes I am presenting in class.
