  2. Math • EXCEL! • Mean, median, mode • Different graphs and their uses • Sums and totals • Charts • Surveying

  3. Extra Math Resources • http://club.live.com/Pages/Home/HomePage.aspx?ocid=club_sem_ef&FORM=MXCA00&publ=Google&crea=6f3fd7574bf461a44ff8fa357eaf0145 all types of games • http://www.coolmath.com/ • http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/topic_t_1.htmlmain site with virtual manipulatives (if you use nothing else, this would be a great site to take from our presentation.)

  4. Best Buys’ Best • This school won the Best Buy most technological school award for integrating digital cameras into the math curriculum. The website is http://futureofmath.misterteacher.com/digitalcameras.html • This is that same class’ blog http://verity7math.blogspot.com/ • Use the website https://www.blogger.com/start to create a user friendly blog for any grade level. Blogging when used properly is a great way to assess students.

  5. Smart Boards Many schools today now use smart boards (interactive white boards). We offer workshops here to learn how to use them. Take advantage!! Websites that are great for smart boards! http://www.kenton.k12.ky.us/SmartBoard/smartmath.htm http://eduscapes.com/sessions/smartboard/ - this site had really cool interactive movies about various subjects

  6. Ways to Use the Smart Board • Digital storytelling • Brainstorm • Take notes directly into PowerPoint presentations • Reinforce skills by using on-line interactive web sites • Create a project calendar • Teach editing skills using editing marks • Use highlighter tool to highlight nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. • Use it with Kidspiration or Inspiration • Teach students how to navigate the Internet • Illustrate and write a book as a class. Use the record feature to narrate the text.

  7. EVEN MORE ways! • Have students create e-folios including samples of their work and narration • Electronic Word Wall • Create video files to teach a software application, a lesson, or as a review to be posted to the server or web. Example: How to create a graph in Excel or how to burn projects to CDs • Use the built in maps to teach continents, oceans, countries, or states and capitals.

  8. Science • Interactive Resources • http://www.tryscience.org/home.html • http://www.billnye.com/index.asp • http://www.sciencenewsforkids.org/
