Cladogram Tutorial
Here's a powerpoint I made that teaches you how to make a cladogram in four minutes. Click here to download the file. You'll have to then unzip it into a folder. It's important that you keep the powerpoint file in the same folder as all the sound clips; otherwise, you won't hear my narration.
If anyone knows a better way of posting this, please let me know. I tried just embedding all the sound files, but it only worked with *.wav files, and the entire file ended up being about 40 MB large. This way it keeps it to about 7 MB.

Circles in Math Class
This is a video from my math class on March 14 (Pi Day) last year, when we calculated pi by measuring the circumference and diameter of a giant circle in units of shoe length.

About me
Okay, so after looking at some other blogs from class, I feel a little obligated to write a little about myself. I'm a Master's student in the School Leadership Program, specifically the Teacher Leadership strand. Before Harvard, I taught middle school math and science for four years at a charter school in Massachusetts.My charter school did a great job serving students with disabilities in an inclusive model that really did a great job addressing not only the academic needs, but also the social and emotional needs as well. I was never fully content with how well we reached the kids though, and I created most of my curriculum, experimenting with what I thought would work best.
I'm suddenly loving the idea of using blogs as a teacher, but I've had some experience with online resources before. Last year, I had my students complete a huge project on evolution. I posted their contributions online (next time, I'd ask a student to do this). Click a picture to see their work.
It made their work available for them to show off to others and explore each others' contributions. Much of the assignments and research for this project were online, but I hope to learn more tools this year to build on this.
