Want to call parents but don't want to share your personal phone number? I think that this could be of assistance to you.

Create polls using the cell phones of the students in the class, or any other device, like ipods and ipads

Teachers never see students' phone numbers. Students never see theirs.

With MightyMeeting you can manage a library of PowerPoint presentations directly from your smartphone or tablet. You can share them via email, blog, Twitter, or Facebook. You can start or join web meetings directly from your laptop, iPhone, iPad, or an Android phone.

With Google Voice, learners can call in and leave messages that can be emailed, downloaded as .mp3 files, or embedded in web sites using the included html code. Basically, it's a way to create audio recordings, without the need for a computer or mic. Many classrooms and labs are set up with headsets with microphones or laptops with internal mics. Still, many are not. When you think about how many kids have the equipment at home, the chances are even lower. How many kids do you know that have access to a phone? Heck, many of them even have their own cell these days. Enter Google Voice. Let's roll with this and see what we can do.

"What does this mean? When will I use this?" If you're a math teacher, you've probably heard these questions before. We're here to help you answer them. At Mathalicious, we believe that math isn't something to learn, but a tool to learn about other things. Our mission is to help transform the way math is taught by providing you with the best, most meaningful and most relevant math content available. Our lessons are aligned to traditional state standards but, unlike most content, emphasize conceptual understanding through engaging real-world applications. What does this mean for you and your students? It means you can use linear equations to pick the right cell phone plan, and percents to get healthier. It means you can use proportions to compare the iPhone and the iPad, and explore whether the Olympics are fair. Our approach means that you as a teacher can foster real conversations, real learning about topics that students really care about. And best of all, Mathalicious means that math can be…fun again.
