Chatting and Study Groups

I noticed a lot of chatting going on in another blog so I installed a little chat window, it's called a Shoutbox. Give yourself a screen name and anyone can talk anytime you're here!

You may recall I talked about you all getting together in groups of 3 or 4 to create study groups. Meet once a week, say Wednesday's at lunch in the library or whatever works for you. Well, with the Chatbox you can set a time anytime when you call all meet online, chat and get whatever help you need with your homework in the Chatbox.

I think this will be a powerfull learning opportunity for all of you. It depends entirely on each of you individually. It's up to you whether or not you choose to get involved.

You'll find the AP Calculus Chatbox window down there at the bottom of the right hand sidebar.

Please leave me feedback in the comments to this post. Is this a good idea? Are you getting anything out of it? Should we keep it or delete the Chatbox? Leave your vote here. ;-)

Cheers,
Mr. K.

    Well i think its a great idea Mr. K! chatting with your classmates about homework is another way to learn new stuff. Well most of us teenagers spend lots of time in chat rooms anyways. Instead of chating about how's life and other non sense, chatting about our homework instead is a smart idea.....But Mr. K i have one question, can we chat with you too and ask you about our homework?

    You bet. If I see you guys chatting when I look in in the evening I'll jump right in. ;-)

    It might be a good idea for all/some of you to discuss when would be a good time to "meet." If you let me know when that is I'll try to be there too.
