SMART Board Math Games: Educational Math Games For Your SMART Board - 10 views

  •  
    Math is one of the easiest subjects to use well on an interactive whiteboard. The Internet is awash with SMART Board Math games, but not all are worth your time. The ones in this article have been tried and tested in my classroom, and are long standing favorites with my students. Some are Internet based, and some are SMART Notebook files for you to download, but all are great fun and will help bring added engagement to your Math lessons. The majority of these SMART Board Math games can be used in a K-6 environment, but many can be used beyond that.

We can't let educators off the hook | Dangerously Irrelevant - 10 views

    • anonymous
       
      What do you think? SHOULD we let them off the hook? IS it excusable today to NOT be aware of and to use the appropriate tools of the web?
    • anonymous
       
      Oh, and read down through the comments, as well. The discussion continues there.
  • If you’re a teacher / administrator / librarian / education professor that somehow ‘doesn’t even realize [yet] that there’s a decision to be made,’ should you even be working in a school or university? Don’t our children and our school systems need and deserve someone who’s in a different place than you are?
  • It’s about our students: our children and our youth who deserve at the end of their schooling experience to be prepared for the world in which they’re going to live and work and think and play and be. That’s the obligation of each and every one of us. No educator gets to disown this.

Don't our children and our school systems need and deserve someone who's in a different place than you are? It's one thing to still be a learner; heck, we're all learners with this technology stuff. It's another to opt out or not even recognize the choice. If we look at what our kids need, shouldn't we replace you with someone else? "
