Math on the Internet
Written on March 25, 2007 – 5:46 pm | by Ed Warkentin
I’ll soon be leading a workshop called, “Math on the Internet.”
In planning for this workshop, it occured to me that in order to pass along everything that I would want to pass along to those who come, I would have to give out more than one URL. My goal is certainly to simplify and streamline the tool that I use to provide this kind of content, but for now, a quick solution is to put all 3 locations of my favorite Math links right here in a blog article…
Here’s my first attempt at creating a serious website. Making the pop-up menus gave me the biggest sense of satisfaction on this project, besides actually having a purpose for putting a website together. However, this website is sooooo 20th century! I built it from a WYSIWYG editor (what you see is what you get). Specifically, I used Adobe GoLive – not a bad program. However, I now prefer other methods & tools. This is the math page. From it, you can click to lots of other pages with content in other categories.
Here’s my main del.icio.us page (http://del.icio.us/wark).
This link directs you to the links I’ve tagged “math.” (http://del.icio.us/wark/math)
If you don’t know what that is, read about it in a previous blog article here. As you can see, this del.icio.us account is the place where I put anything that I think is worth sharing. The tags are all over the place: web2.0, funny, volcanoes, pi, kite, home fix-it, etc. Some tags have lots of websites to share, and others only have one or two.
Here’s my math34 del.icio.us page (http://del.icio.us/math34).
I designed it with only math in mind. I specifically used the bundles (folders) to help categorize the links into the chapters in my school’s math textbook, and into the the strands of the math standards in California.
I’d be interested in any feedback from anyone to how useful (or not) these two del.icio.us accounts are to you….
