Weekly Websites 3/22

I do my best to send Weekly Websites to my "techie" teachers.  I get such good feedback - I might as well start sharing them here!

I stopped at an elementary school and saw how excited the students are about First in Math.  This Prezi presentation (if you are new to Prezi – enjoy) is interesting because it presents learning theory about math in a fun, interesting way.  I watched about half of it but I think math teachers might find it interesting.

Talk about everything going online!  My old pen and paper lists are so last year.  This site would have been great when discussing characters’ decisions.  I love the “Rational Weight” vs the “Emotional Weight” of the pros and cons.  I didn’t preview this site – I’m not sure if it requires a sign up for the previews.

Turn websites into PDFs for easier printing and/or saving.
