Or another one: teachers have repeatedly been found to dislike students who show curiosity and creative thought, even though creativity is held as an important goal of education.
If you’re a student whose teacher constantly thwarts you when you try to do something your own way, you may not have the stamina of M.I.T.’s founders—especially if you come across such resistance at an early age.
Instead, you may find yourself trained to stop your creative thoughts before they are fully formed, lest you get in trouble for voicing something that is “wrong.
"@pbeens: I've just blogged about Google Blockly - A Great Way to Introduce Basic CS Concepts - http://t.co/0Z3f4bGY want to get into some coding. Check this out. Might see how it goes with some grade 2's
The story behind the world's most popular social networking site has a bizarrely Australian twist. In 2004, aboard the yacht of a Sun Microsystems executive, the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and friends apparently dined on a koala.
This is a great online maths activity for the advanced thinkers (if you are going to use all four cards) but allows for the not so high achievers. Deffinately going to introduce this to my upper grade 4's

A Maths Dictionary for Kids is an animated, interactive online math dictionary for students which explains over 600 common mathematical terms and math words in simple language.
This is the tool that people have asked about. Really useful if the documents have been created in word and saved as a PD not cool if they have bee scanned in and saved as PDFs
Awesome finally we have real time editing with collaborators and an in built chat function. This is going to make our team planning days easier. Looking forward to seeing if it has a Land scape function.
This is a great wiki in general for maths students and teachers. I particularly like some of the practical application of maths to everyday situations. For students to link real world concepts to abstract concepts is important for students to engage in their learning. It also links creative thinking in maths. Which in my opinion is what maths is all about.

Skill based learning, but could be useful if doing differentiated rotations in maths lesson and want to target a particular skill that the students may need to help in their understanding/solving of an extended problem.
