I was even more intrigued when he made reference to the work of Bernard Suits that claims there are three constituent parts that make up games: To play a game is to attempt to achieve a specific state of affairs [prelusory goal], using only means permitted by rules [lusory means], where the rules prohibit use of more efficient in favour of less efficient means [constitutive rules], and where the rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity [lusory attitude].

Lots of good Internet based games: e.g Algebra puzzles which could be used to form the basis for a lesson or also could be used as an intro warm up or early finishers activity. Most activities would suit upper primary, however some extension students would benefit from playing the games. Has a good selection of logic games e.g. factory balls and popular games, such as battleships. Has a good selection of instructional maths videos, which look very useful.

Creativity is the act of thinking. Whether you are deliberately engaged in thought for the purpose of making novel connections or in a state of incubation where the creative process is happening somewhere in the deep unconscious it is thinking that you are doing. Making thinking visible is a must read and have for all schools who are wanting to promote thinking. The thinking routines outlined in this book are easily implemented and have robust research from Harvard Graduate School Of Education that demonstrate their effectiveness.

Class blog Think about who is your intended audience for your ‘About page’?  Your students, parents/family, or to help connect with other classes? Below are examples of the type of information you might include for each audience — remember you can add more pages if needed (e.g. a Welcome parents page, blogging rules) For students and/or parents: What is a blog The goals of the class blog About the teacher(s) How to interact with the blog e.g. subscribe to blog, comment on posts, guidelines for writing appropriate comments Teacher(s) contact details To connect with classes in other schools: What country, state and city you are from? Year (grade level), subject and age groups The types of connections your class is interested in e.g. becoming blogging buddies, engaging in global projects The type and size of school Class or teacher contact details
