Often we search for meaningful ways to integrate digital technology in project based learning activities given to our students. We also would like our students to develop a thorough understanding of the concepts underlying the work - after all this is the purpose of the project. Giving students the opportunity to complete and present their project through a digital lens has one great advantage - student engagement. This in turn causes students to develop a more in depth understanding of concepts.

Are you searching for a way to share documents, presentations, slideshows, or a series of photos or images with your students? Then Voice Thread is the free Web 2.0 tool for you and your students (teachers can register for a free education account).

The six top free online tools were selected from available web 2.0 tools for teaching and learning using presentations, blogging, and bookmarking online resources. There are many excellent online tools available in these three categories, making the selection difficult at best. However, the selection was made based on reviewing available online resources along with other contributions and feedback from teachers.

Six math projects that integrate real-world math problems are presented as a teaching strategy for helping students develop a greater understanding of math.

The math word problem solving strategies presented work with any math problem regardless of the math concept or idea a child is learning.

Six math projects that integrate real-world math problems are presented as a teaching strategy for helping students develop a greater understanding of math.

Math activities proven successful with learning disabled students are presented, along with a description of factors that influence struggling special needs students.

Recorded version of a free webinar and related resources. Join us to discuss why reading mathematics is challenging for many students and what teachers can do. We will examine how mathematics symbols, vocabulary, and content presentation can create roadblocks to students' mathematics understanding. Learn how to address students' difficulties by approaching mathematics as a language and to use specific strategies to improve mathematics learning.

"Integration of technology is an integral part of project based learning, because technology is an integral part of life outside the classroom as revealed in this part of the definition - "types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the classroom.""

Strategies are provided for classroom integration, creating survey, and science or math activities.
