Staff Shout Outs!

#disdcuttingedge

Dawn Baxter (Intermediate) - Discovered Woot Math! She says, "I just found the interactive fraction questions where you can model them using fractions, circles, bars, number lines, sets, area models, and base ten blocks!" Math geniuses at work!


Rebecca Minshew (Intermediate) - ELA teachers use MicNotes to record test questions for oral administration students. Students can listen to the question, but can still read the reading passage on their own. What a great tool!


Lisa Heath (Junior High) - Many teachers at the Junior High are excited to have received their Chromecasts! Woo hoo!

Brett Purcell (Junior High) - Using QR codes! Students scan the codes around the room and are taken to a designated website. They read through the site, and then compose an answer to a set of questions. Great way to keep your students active and engaged!
