Abstract: This paper briefly describes the implementation of a Web 2.0-based collaborative model in a college Euclidean Geometry class at a university in the western United States. The study found the implementation of a blogging activity in the Euclidean Geometry class to be collaborative, convenient, effective, enjoyable, and applicable in other mathematics classes. Despite some difficulties and limitations of the free blog service used, the study suggests that blogs and other Web 2.0 technologies could provide an important avenue for fostering improved mathematics in today’s technologically advanced society.
