Finally, A Final Course Walkthrough!

Sydney and I created a course on Increasing Patterns designed for Grade 2. We imagined this course to be something that we could use in our own classrooms. The modules we made are intended to be supplemental to what is being taught in class.  If you are looking for a walkthrough of our course and...

Building an Online Community

Stacey Mamer and Sydney McGrath This is the course profile I created with Sydney! I tried to copy and paste it from the google doc we made into a blog post but the formatting went kind of funny. Here is the link that will bring you to the google doc so that you can read...
