Students with a “growth” mindset are those who believe that their ability is not “fixed” and that failure is a natural part of learning. These are the students who perform at higher levels in math and in life. But students don’t get the opportunity to see math as a growth subject if they mainly work on short, closed questions accompanied by frequent tests that communicate to them that math is all about performance and there is no room for failure.

Create a pinterest-like board, participants can add their own ideas, youtube videos, images, etc. Vote on the ones that you like the best. It's like combining padlet, pinterest, and the now defunct Google moderator.

Great tool for distance learning if you want to have students responding as you are presenting. Also good for in class 1-1 settings. That's what it is designed for however, it becomes a question of whether or not you gain what you want by having a silent class simply responding on their screens. Google for login is required but integrates with Google apps, upload ppt. or create your own within pear deck

What Students Think About Using iPads in School | MindShift - 55 views
-
Candid good and bad from the students on the adoption of iPads in their 1to1 school. No surprises but it reinforces the lack of freedom teachers have to use the most current/best app for the job if the district has to approve it and do all the loading on the devices. Also hits the idea of use it for what it is best at and not just because you have one.
