goggle docs & voicethreads

I could envision google docs and voicethreads to be used to send back feedback on students' assignments. If, for example, they submitted a homework assignment via an online class, I could review, correct, comment via voice threads or google docs. This would allow them to respond back to me also. Since this is math, formulas would have to be an integral part of creating the documents. Does either of these tools allow for equation editors to be used?
I viewed several blogs. Here are three that I posted comments to.

This blog is about a geeky mamma's blogs. I viewed one about a BLC conference which is about learning communities and an annual conference which was helpful to her.

Each is unique and useful in its own way. It seems that they range very far away from each other as far as topics go.

About Blogs

I have seen some great blogs. Most of them that I have looked through are social blogs about people and their families and the funny internet videos that they have come across. Some are very funny and interesting.

Do I or Do I Not Blog in the Classroom

Hi. My name is Mrs. Brewer and I am a high school math teacher in a rural area. I am very interested in using technology in my classroom. However, I am wondering whether blogs is an appropriate form. Do I or Do I Not Blog in my Math Classrom?
