Independent Practice
I must admit, there are times when I think to myself "wouldn't it be nice if I could copy myself?". I have often had that thought in the classroom, especially when I am with my small group. By making short movies of my math lessons, I have done just that (well, close enough). During independent practice, kids can use an ipad to access the lesson while I am with my small group. Parents can access the lessons at home too. One parent remarked "I am so happy you have the lessons online, now I know how you teach it". Below is a sample lesson students can access on the ipads.

Math and Science Blog....and so much more
I have found that the blog is developing a life of its own by continuing to grow with each new idea. The newest idea is a "Kids teaching Kids" tab for student to post their own lessons for various math concepts so that kids who need a fresh approach to understand a math concept can turn to another student for help. I also plan to have a tab for the robot enthusiasts to share programming tips for other EV3 programmers.
