After a lesson I will do a quick 2-3 minute review video on Show Me.  I then upload this video my Show Me account.  It's a very simple interface, extremely easy to use, and all you have to do is make a free account.  Using a QR code generator I make a QR code that links directly to the video and then tape it to the anchor chart. 

A fantastiv interactve fractions game.  Refraction is an online puzzle game for teaching fractions. The game is not obviously a lesson in fractions, but requires knowledge of fractions to succeed. In Refraction, the player must partition lasers in order to power spaceships containing various animals who have gotten stuck in space, as shown in the picture. These animal spaceships all require different fractions of the lasers, and the player is given several pieces that split and bend the lasers to reach the animals and satisfy these requirements. These mechanics can be used to teach many important fraction concepts, such as equal partitioning, addition, multiplication, mixed numbers, improper fractions, and common denominators. The game itself is instrumented so that it records everything the player does, allowing teachers and researchers to analyze play data.

Welcome to Kidsnetsoft's Pixlr Workshop. Pixlr is a great alternative to the expensive software. Consequently, I have decided to make several lessons using this fabulous online tool. Students can go home and work on projects for free. They can become masters of the software if they so choose. The beauty of learning Pixlr is that you can transfer some of that knowledge to other software programs. I have been using Photoshop for over 15 years. My relatively proficient use of Photoshop has given me the understanding of image editors. With online editors coming and going, students need to be able to problem solve and trouble shoot new programs so they can be adaptable. Hopefully students can appreciate Pixlr as much as I have. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Photoshop loaded on all my classroom computers. However, I am happy to be able to freely use this online tool in place of the more expensive software that schools aren't able to purchase.
