something to consider for best practices with the laptops for next year.

Unfortunately most of us will be unavailable for this. It's looking like adding game mechanics to school is moving beyond fad, though.

These guys are in Bellevue. Very cool approach. I would love to see this model for EE next year.

I can't make it, but this looks like a good opportunity for some summer PD.

Not exactly news, but always important to remember...

There are a lot of suggestions I have for Experiential Ed next year - one of which is separating the design process from the project planning process.

Probably a good thing to look at for everyone working here....

Probably not true for all kids, but true for enough of them that we need to open the doors to our classrooms a little wider.

How do I get most of my ideas and information? I follow the right people.

As you and your kids struggle to stay motivated, a little reminder of something we all know intellectually but tend to forget as we get tired.

Part 5 (with links to the other four parts) of a great list of suggestions for standards based grading. As you can see, everyone has their own take on how to do SBG.

This is something we need to raise awareness of in our students.

I'm guessing a few of you will be (or have) set some goals for the coming year.

Geogebra is a pretty awesome tool for visualizing mathematics, and a great extension for the kids who need room to run.

Nice PBL resources.

The whiteboards floating are a great alternative to 'independent practice'. 

Math teachers - a little more on how to use whiteboards in your math class.

As much fun as it is to think that we have the best ideas in house, it just isn't so. 

Can't remember if I posted this before, but it's definitely worth the watch as you do your planning.

Good stuff to keep in mind this fall
