Thinking Blocks - Model and Solve Math Word Problems - 1 views

  •  
    Thinking Blocks is a suite of learning tools designed to help students solve math word problems accurately and efficiently. Using brightly colored blocks, students model mathematical relationships and identify known and unknown quantities. The model provides students with a powerful image that organizes information and simplifies the problem solving process.

    "In a digitally-charged learning environment, the key is to turn up the H.E.A.T. on student learning. H.E.A.T. is an acronym that is synonymous with digital-age learning (i.e., 21st Century Skills) and represents Student Output in terms of student: Higher order thinking, Engaged learning, Authentic connections, and Technology use."

Poetry 180 - Home Page - 0 views

  •  
    Photo of Billy Collins Welcome to Poetry 180. Poetry can and should be an important part of our daily lives. Poems can inspire and make us think about what it means to be a member of the human race. By just spending a few minutes reading a poem each day, new worlds can be revealed. Poetry 180 is designed to make it easy for students to hear or read a poem on each of the 180 days of the school year. I have selected the poems you will find here with high school students in mind. They are intended to be listened to, and I suggest that all members of the school community be included as readers. A great time for the readings would be following the end of daily announcements over the public address system.

Let Google Voice Rock the Classroom! - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Nine Survey Tools for Teachers and Students - 0 views

  •  
    I think placing a survey or poll on your classroom blog or website is a great way to get informal feedback from your students. I usually put a survey on my class blog a week or so before any formal assessment that my students are going to take. That feedback helps me identify the areas that my students need more help and or clarification on. - R M Byrne
