So, long story short, we have a bit of extra time in our Right-Angle Trigonometry unit, so I mentioned to my team that I would put together a BreakOut for review. During this time, we have a lot of kids away for various reasons so having something self-paced is helpful. You can read more about […]
[I did have 3 hours of Parent Teacher Conferences tonight, but I wanted to make sure I got my November daily post in!] I spent way too much time as a kid reading through the Choose Your Own Adventure books. Like these folks (link) I would map out the different paths to see what possibilities […]
I know it’s trendy for folks to proselytize “Ditching Homework” – it’s a catchy phrase, great memories of your own homework are likely hard to find and you won’t get invited to speak at conferences or sell books if you’re encouraging folks to do the something they’re already doing.Now, I’m only speaking of high school […]
So Twitter serves up a lot of great tips, tricks, techniques and shortcuts for busy teachers. Choosing to follow the right folks helps prevent a lot of the nonsense. Eric Curts (Twitter) provided one to help Math teachers with quick formative assessments : Making Google Forms Quizzes with Math (Free, Easy, and Quick). It’s just […]
Although I said I’d blog every day in November, I meant “school days” and didn’t intend to blog on the weekend. But I had a few minutes between tasks and was browsing Twitter and came across Draper’s post: It’s (still) not OK for teachers to remain digitally illiterate. Here’s why… Now, for starters, I encourage […]

(And I’m old enough to think, “Hey, Webquest!”) And so I dug in a little bit more and I found they wrote […]
[[Part 2 of this article is here: Link]] So when I was visiting Anna in Edinburgh during March Break, she showed me how she used Password-Protected OneNote sections within the OneNote ClassNotebook to help students check their work — she set the password to the correct answer, so they knew they had it right when the Section […]
So my tour started in Edinburgh and the Hilton Grosvenor was kind enough to host me. It was in a great old building with long narrow hallways with low ceilings — the signs were helpful but I still managed to hit my head several times. However, once you opened your room’s door, the space opened […]
I had the opportunity to visit a school just outside of Edinburgh yesterday. While my overall intent was to look at the use of OneNote and Office365, what resonated with me so strongly was the fluidity with which both educators approached their classes. I admit, I was taking notes furiously. So much so that I […]
Taking a brief break from my “Getting Started with OneNote Class Notebook” series (you can start that one here)… This is a little advanced so if you’re not comfortable setting permissions inside of Office365 you may want to avoid this. Or set up a Class Notebook to play with so that it doesn’t affect any […]
