I find audacity very helpful for giving students feedback on larger assignments. Also, I've enjoyed having students submit work to me using audacity. Sometimes it is just nice to hear their voices!
I know at some point we will all be student teaching, substituting or have a day in the classroom in need of a little fun. Her are 10 fun games to win students over!
I use this site a lot for creating worksheets for the ASD students I work with. The site is very easy to use and lets you personalize the types of problems and categories you want on the worksheets.
I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?
I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.
I like using audacity for audio files. You can imagine perhaps creating audio files of key course content so students with reading disabilities can listen while they read. A great project for parent and grandparent volunteers btw!
I happened on this when prepping for the mtle and was amazed at the amount of free content- really great help for middle school and highschool math students/teachers
