Hi! My name is Mary Kaye Bartek... I teach 7th Grade Math at Warren Hills Middle School. I will begin my 5th year this school year...

I have a 16 year old son, Tommy, who keeps me busy and on my toes!!

I like to do fun stuff in my free time...for example, I drove to Florida and back the week after school let out; this past weekend I went to the beach and went night fishing with my boyfriend on the ocean; and this upcoming Sunday I will be going Zip-Lining...(hopefully he won't chicken out!!)

I learned about a bunch of different 'teaching tools' that can be used in and out of the classroom. One tool that I will try to implement is the blog page. One that I will definately use is the gooru website for videos on math instruction. These tools will help to make curriculum more accessible to students because they will be able to better relate to the 'technology' of the websites but they will also be a 'forum' for extra help.

I was able to look through Gooru which I found helpful and I will also be working with Delicious as it is a good place to store good sites. My curriculum will be more accessible to my students through the use of videos and online interactive sites to help my students better understand the lesson at home/at their own pace.
