W01 Discussion: The Circumference of the Earth Problem
I read the two given readings "Do Learners Really Know Best" and "Interviewing in Mathematics Education Research." The first reinforced something I noticed about how children today interact and learn; how they become so engrossed in technology that information passes through them without them realizing it. It will prove a challenge to balance traditional teaching skills and project based instruction with this preferred method of learning of this new generation.

As for the discussion, it was fun to figure out the process behind the ancient Greek's calculation of the circumference of the Earth. I had heard the story many times before, I even did a report on Eratosthenes when I was in middle school, so this post was pretty easy.
