Curriculum Video FINALLY uploaded!
I enjoyed making it. I'm sure that regular classroom teachers could find a myriad of ways to apply this technology.

Freetech4teachers-Resources of Note
True to the claim, the site freetech4teachers.com is indeed a treasure trove of resources for educators.
While I don't have a regular classroom (I'm a "permanent" sub!), there were at least two resources cited in the blog that caught my eye.
The first was "Seven Whiteboard Apps for Teachers and Students". Most of the districts I work in use whiteboards, so this post provided me with some information that "crosses the borders" with my assignmements, so to speak. Many tools for diagrams and drawings.

The second post I noticed was, to my eye, a great student resource. It's called My Fake Wall and it's a way to make a "fake" Facebook wall. Students can use it to make Facebook walls for historical figures and/or characters in novels or stories they read.

If I had a regular classroom, I'd certainly examine the possibility of employing a blog; it's a great way to impart information and I find it personally preferable to Twitter as you aren't dealing with the character limit.

My Favorite Podcast!

My favorite Podcast is "The Math Dude Quick and Dirty Tips to Make Math Easier"
Thus far, I've had lessons on probability-what it is, how to make probability trees, and how to calculate probability.
It's made this subject easier and relatable by using things like baseball batting average tio illustrate the lessons. I recommend the podcast highly-anything to encourage math students is a big deal in my book!
