Entry 3

Teachers,

Here is a short article that tells how to use the iPad to teach Math. It tells about the iPad, then gives you a list of instructions. I would use this in the classroom, because there are many educational math applications that can teach elementary students. This will help them to become self-learners and discover mathematics for themselves.

Teachers,

I have come across this article that tells why integrating technology into the classroom is so important. I could use this in my classroom, because students are actively engaged, can participate in groups, they have frequent interaction, feedback, and connect to the real world.

Entry 1

I have come across this link that gives some examples of free technology for teachers. This technology includes website links for videos that will be useful in your classroom or for when students get home and need help with homework. I viewed the videos and I think that there were some good ones. Teachers need to view these before showing them to your students to be sure they are good teaching practices.

This could be used in the classroom whenever a teacher is going to have a substitute teacher. Many of these substitute teachers do not know what is going in mathematics. This could be a good way for the students to still learn the concepts even though their teacher is not there. A lot of students take advantage of substitute teachers and have a free day.

Math Facts Games with Dice in Dice

Posted below is the link to a short youtube video that talks about Dice in Dice. The video shows several games that use  Dice in Dice to teach simple addition. The dice in dice are a great resource that can be used in your classroom. They are also useful to keep because they teach not only addition, but many other concepts.

Addition Using Number line


This video is a great technology resource that can be used to teach children how to add using the number line.

Teachers,

This website is actually from 2011, but it gives plenty of examples of free technology "math resources" to try. I highly recommend them!

Teacher Resource 4

Teachers,

Here is another great resource that I found. It is a Math Teacher Store which includes items such as posters, charts, testing material, manipulatives, games, computer software, and videos. I hope you find this as useful as I have.
