E-Book Epiphany!

It occurred to me that this problem-solving guide was necessary for learning and rewarding to create on multiple personal levels.  I learned so much about “the consumer” because I wanted to put myself in the mind of a child.  Having the opportunity to create what I would appreciate seeing as a student was exciting and lead to a great deal of questioning strategies and corrections toward my abilities.  Because I am a tactile/kinesthetic learner, I wanted to ensure that the student was getting the same type of hands-on experience by reviewing my math e-book.  Because is not one of my favorite subjects, I felt that working with pictures and virtual characters added a special twist to the book and to learning in general.  After making my first set of corrections, I realized that some of my ideas were unable to be incorporated because the number of pages that I envisioned was limited as well, so I had to summarize some of my work in order to cover all the information.   In the end, I was excited about the finished product and was anxious about the confidence I felt for teaching  math and also teaching my high school students how to use this amazing tool!
