This math activity gives links for the teacher to print out a wacky ruler and some wacky worms for students to measure. The ruler is wacky because students actually have to estimate some of the measurements. Students can practice skills in measurement and estimation. When students are finished measuring they can come up to the site and put in what they think each worm's length is.

Blown away by this example of a student using Blogger to reflect on what they have learned in school from 2007 - 2010. How amazing for a student to reflect back on all they have learned. Just imagine students doing this throughout middle or high school and then commenting on each other's progress. A student reflecting on what they have learned is so powerful! The format using Blogger is clean and simple.

Interesting study about the use of Clickers in the classroom. This study does not show statistically significant differences between Clickers and Traditional Discussion but the perceptual survey indicates students prefer using the SRS system.

The study results indicated that, in general, using interactive whiteboards was associated with a 16 percentile point gain in student achievement. This means that we can expect a student at the 50th percentile in a classroom without the technology to increase to the 66th percentile in a classroom using whiteboards.

This is a site that encourages problem solving. Students select "missions" to complete in the real world and then then post the solutions. It's a facinating way to get students to be real problem solvers.

Sal Khan has been teaching via YouTube for over two years and has Bill and Melinda Gates helping him run his Academy. This is a great model for instruction which frees up teachers to be me. Students at Bullis are watching the videos in advance of class to learn the skill, then come to class to practice. The teacher spends his time coaching and helping. Advanced students work ahead and do enrichment.

This content could be really helpful for a workshop on digital photography. Especially if we're going to be doing any instruction for students using digital cameras and PhotoStory. Going over the "Rule of 3s" and white balance are really powerful before the students start collecting digital images.
