Fresh Look Fridays - Lego Builder - (28-05-2010)

 

Red_Deer_CatholicBefore I begin today's Fresh Look Fridays review, I need to take a minute to thank all those at both the Central Alberta Regional Consortium and Red Deer Catholic School Division for the great day yesterday.  I got the chance to share some ideas and resources for using a SMART Board with an advanced group of educators - whoo hoo! They were fun, clearly knowledgable and patient as I fumbled through my brain for some inkling of the Calculus/Algebra/Trigonometry knowledge that I once possessed. It's been years since I heard the word "hyperbole" tossed around so frequently!

 

CARCThe best part? I got to hang out with some of my "tweeps" and meet new ones too! A quick shout out to @bmacdonald47 @patrickbohnet @Scorgo and @mathgeekess -- great members of my PLN.

Today's Fresh Look Fridays website comes directly as a recommendation from one of the participants in the workshop -- Kathy Dombroski [there, you're famous now! lol]  Lego's Creative Builder is a great little collaborative game that is colourful, fun and perfect for use on your SMART Board.

Students can 'freestyle' build with virtual lego blocks or try to mimic a picture that is shown.  Perfect for the little ones to teach problem solving, size and proportion and definitely collaboration within a small group.

Thanks again Kathy!

Have a great weekend everyone!

A classroom educator for 10 years, I’m now thrilled to be working full time training teachers and helping them integrate technology into their classrooms.

Originally from Calgary, I’m thrilled to be living and working in British Columbia and starting to get to know the fabulous educators in my new province.

I fully confess that I am a tech-geek, and thus always brought technology into the classroom with my students. As soon as I got my hands on my first SMART product – I was a convert – and never taught without one again! I was fortunate to be part of several technical trials with SMART – including the SMART Table, which I enjoyed using primarily with my Grade One students.

I spent some time as an Education Technology Consultant and developed my passion for bringing technology into the hands of kids & helping teachers to maximize the tech tools within their schools.

I also love sports, movies and am a classically trained singer.
