Still, with the election this year, I think it's important for students to have an authentic learning experience that shows how math can play a vital role in the political process.<br /><br />I'm hoping NTZB is active in #MYParty12 so we can join you with tweeting at both campaigns. I think that's an awesome idea and hopefully we can get some sort of response from either side!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025084422261929614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248548197809593245.post-78893828668032195482012-08-16T10:28:39.110-05:002012-08-16T10:28:39.110-05:00Jeff,

I don't see it fitting perfectly with #MYparty12 because the focus of that project is on the students personal beliefs. But what if the math teacher was running this project at the same time the SS teacher was running the #MYparty12? It could be two different focuses on the same topic, the election, and it would definitely tie together how important math and statistics are to a political campaign. <br /><br />I especially like the idea of trying to get someone from Gallup to Skype in. I think it is important for students to see the thousands of people who have careers in politics but are not elected. <br /><br />I am going to be proposing a day when we get all students across the network to tweet at Obama and Romney to respond to our project and you could definitely be a part of that. Please stay in touch with where this project goes.<br /><br />Mike Kaecheleconcretekaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817234454056267050noreply@blogger.com
