Have you been teaching a decade – or more? Do you find online technologies overwhelming? Do you ever fear you’re falling behind? Do you want to get better, but don’t even know where to start?
Well…that’s fantastic.
"Working with more than one app in a lesson is a great way to push students with technology. There are combos for math I love to use, and here is another one to try out:
Have students create a visual model using virtual base ten blocks and take a screenshot of their work. Add the screenshot to a ScreenChomp creation and have students record themselves as they explain their thinking!"
"Third graders played for just 10 minutes per day, 3 days a week, for four weeks. The comparison group's class received the same materials and the same instruction, but didn't play the game. The result of playing was a staggering 20.5% improvement after just two hours of self-guided play."
"One of the challenges we face as educators is providing students with opportunities to engage in meaningful learning experiences that show them how they can connect the knowledge and skills learned in school to the real world. This is particularly true in the area of traditional math instruction if most of the time spent is focused on solving a set of problems in a textbook."
