Welcome to Math Class
Hello Everyone especially my students,
My name is Miss Domingo and I am really glad that I am your Algebra teacher. I know many of you do not like Math, but in my class we are going to learn how simple it can be and I am sure that you will love it by the end of the year. We are going to have to much fun learning the subject because we are going to think outside the box to make Math fun. Be ready to learn and have a passion for Math.
I will like to get to know you each on a personal level so I can be able to teach you in the way that it most benefits you. I have created a google docs so we can all get to know each other because we are going to become a classroom family.
I would like you to know a little about me. I have loved math since I was in elementary, but I didn't know that I wanted to teach it until I was in high school. At first I did not like school because English was my second language and it was hard for me to adjust. I started to like school when I was in Middle School and enjoyed every class especially math. I am the oldest of eight children, we are only two girls and six boys. I helped raise the four younger brothers and I became their second mom and teacher to them. I live on a ranch of 36 arces and I have a lot of pets.
See you all in class and I hope you will enjoy my class as much as I will enjoy teaching you.

Ethics and Copyright Forum
"If I don't charge for it, it's not a violation."
Mostly everything today is copyrighted and the US law takes that serious. I have heard many people say 'I just copied and paste and I am not making others pay so I don't need to reference or cite my source.' Well I think everyone has done somewhat of copied and paste on works online, but we just don't know the law. I know there is law, but just don't know what it means. I think most people are like me and being aware will help us to think twice about coping and pasting things. We might not be charging others or making a profit out of it, but it is still someone else work and their work should be taken care of. If we do get some sort of money of others work our violation will depend on that. Even if it is anonymous work which makes sense because someone still took the time to do it. Knowing all this information will help me to be careful on what I do when I use someone else's work.

Computational Thinking & Scratch
First Lady Interview:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/18985950/
It was the first time I used scratch and it was interesting to use. I can find it useful to teachers to have fun video for students to watch and learn at the same time. I found it frustrating because it takes a lot of time to do and learn the program. I had trouble with it and I had to play around with it in order for me to get the hang of it. Even though I can say the program is not for me I can see all the useful purposes it has. Students can find it interesting and fun to watch then a boring documentary of history. I would like to learn how to use the program better and get to know it better. I can change my mine into using it for my classroom. For me I can say it teaches me patience, but not only that to find new ways to teach material to my students.
Students can use this program to find their creativity and see what they come up with. They can explore and have fun with it because each student will express different ideas. We can use it in a history, science, math, or English class. The students can find someone important to interview or simply do a book project presentation on it. It uses technology to be able to express the ideas of the students and see where there imagination takes them. They will be able to create dialogue and we can teach the different form of dialogue and which ones can be more appropriate.
Just books do not help student, but giving them something new to try out can be very beneficial to them because our students will get to explore new ideas. Having fun and learning can grab the attention of our students and they will want to learn.
