This article highlights a couple really cool ipad apps that can be used in a high school math classroom. Everyone in my brother and sister's high school were issued ipads at the start of this school year so I really want to borrow one of their ipads and play around with these apps. I wasn't sure how I could introduce technology in my classroom and this article provided a few useful ways.

Great resource (again post to your page on your Google Site!). Some day you might be in a room with an iPad. I wish I could take high school again and focus on math. I could get the grades but I was NEVER confident.

I clicked on the link to iPad apps and it took me to a price page on the iPad. I don't know if ShowMe (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/showme-interactive-whiteboard/id445066279?mt=8) was listed as one of the apps, but that is a must-have app in the math classroom! :)

This article is about using blogs in science and math class. David R. Wetzel offer some ideas for teachers on how to use the bogs correctly and how using blogs benefit the students. I liked the idea of posting " how to" videos on the classroom for math problems.

Great article, Jennifer. So many of our math and science teachers post short videos on their websites to show students/remind students of the steps. You'll learn how to do this, also, this month.

This article talked about how useful wireless calculators can be in a math classroom. The software allows the teacher to see what students are doing on their calculator and see if they are actually understanding the material. It also helps keep all students focused on the lesson because they know that the teacher can see if they are on task and can call on them at any time.

Wonderful find! Great example of technology and content merged

I think that this is a great article. I am in an English class right now and we were given an iPad to use for the class but our instructor didnt really now how to use the gadget. This would have been nice to have before we got the technology. The article points out a lot of apps that can be used to help with discovering elements of literature. It also gives examples of apps that can be used for a math class.

There are lots of of "App Lists" out there and it is important to look past the novelty of the iPad and apps and find matches to the content.

Describes strategies for increasing number sense

The Khan Academy is a leading online education tool. Founder Salman Khan started the company after tutoring his niece who was struggling with middle school math. He has written a book called 'The One World Schoolhouse' about how the traditional classroom models no longer work and that using technology in the classroom can bridge the education gaps.

Great, Megan. Khan Academy is a great way to support flipped classrooms, too.

This is a great blog of easy-to-implement ideas to integrate technology into the classroom. It covers math, science, english and learning in general. It's really worth a look.

I love the Blooms taxonomy posters! Great ideas in this blog for sure!
