Math Exploration

You gotta' love Google!

So do you Google? I thought I was a strong Googler, if I may. However, I have been only just scratching the Google surface. Google is really an amazing playground of technology resources. Some thing are just for play, while others can really enhance student learning. Let's take a look....

Google docs
Google docs is now an online storage place that is free. You will probably become addicted to Google docs, for professional and personal use. Google allows you to use all of their tools and bells and whistles without having to switch over to gmail.

Sketch Pan

I found a great site for sketching and animation online. I spent about 20 minutes and created this animation. I really can't draw, but this is me climbing a tire obstacle on an adventure race I participated in recently.



This is really easy to use and totally free.

Interactive Student Blogs

How can you transform those boring paragraph format blogs? Add a voki or an interactive quiz! Use the many free Web 2.0 options out there. Let's talk quizzes.

I recently had my 3rd and 4th grade Gifted and Talented students complete a research project on a topic of their choice. While I was interested in their research, my primary goal was to teach them how to use some great web 2.0 tools so that we can start blogging our way through the school year.

Blogging is a great way for students to highlight their work and it allows parent interaction and it is easy to do collaborations and more. I loved this project. The students spent more time on vokis, learning the blog dashboard, categorizing posts and importing graphic and videos than actually researching their topic. Overall, it was a great success and I am looking forward to the next project where content is king.
