Frustration sets in!

I am absolutely struggling with my PD! I am providing my children with engaging, challenging activities in mathematics. Check.
I am assessing through inviting comments on the class blog. Check.
I am taking anecdotal records and photographic evidence of my class totally engaed in a maths task. Check.
The mathematical discussions that I am hearing are absolutely mind blowing. Check.
The students are telling me that maths is their new favourite subject. Check.

Why then are my results on the topic test so poor? Does anyone have any ideas? is there anyone that could take a look at my topic tests and tell me where I'm going wrong? I really need some help from my team mates here.

Another way of expressing ourselves

Found another Web2.0 tool which allows us to express thinking & learning. (It puts a face to a comment). Here is my first attemt at reflecting on the 'blog phenomena' at school. (sorry about the washing in the background)

Can the 'blog' sustain us?

This cartoon got me thinking about blogs. We really are looking to find 'meaning' . That is the first task. The blog then becomes the 'medium' to make it happen. It keeps in perspective that we are all lifelong learners and ICT provides the tools to enhance this journey!
I'm starting to understand that the medium & the message merge together when we use web2.0 tools. The thinking I use to create a post is just as valuable as the final product! When others comment that provides another opportunity to synthesise and evaluate my thinking.
