Fresh Look Fridays...One Day Late - (08-05-2010)

My apologies for not getting this up yesterday.  I was leading a fantastic professional development workshop on intermediate SMART Board use with about 35 teachers at G.S. Lakie Middle School in Lethbridge, AB.  It was a fun day but in the midst of everything I forgot to "publish" this post :)

Today's website comes via my PLN, specifically Tina (@nocturne4342).  I put a call out a few days ago for some "good" interactive Math websites for elementary students.  My initial intent was to gather a few trial runs of how valuable Twitter can be as a source for resources -- I'm leading a session on that exact topic at SMART's C3 User Conference next weekend.  Instead, I found some excellent websites worthy of a Fresh Look Fridays post.

Algebraic Reasoning is a fun game that challenges students to find out the weight of a specific object in a given scenario.  It takes applying some basic skills that they already have to come up with the correct answer.

Each level gets progressively harder, making this a great game for a small group of students to collaborate on -- specifically around an IWB.

Thanks  again, Tina! 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.
