TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Have you ever tried to get students to a website with a url like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=bitly&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwifu-nxtPTnAhVCVVkKHY1NDFcQ2- ? Chances are that they didn't successfully type all of that on the first try (or ever). Bitly is a free resource that allows you to shorten any URL. All you need to do is click "create" and then copy and paste your long URL.
If you have any questions about this (or any other) resource, please reach out to me via email so we can set up a time to meet!
Melissa16th annual Math Fun Night
On behalf of the Math Honor Society of Smithtown High School West, we would like to cordially invite you to attend our 16th annual Math Fun Night event at Smithtown High School West on Thursday, March 19th from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. This annual event has been organized to demonstrate the ubiquitous use of mathematics in our world. By presenting mathematics to elementary and middle school students from the entire district through recreational hands-on activities, we hope to foster a greater appreciation for mathematics in their future studies. Students who attend will solve and create logic puzzles, use and interact with computer simulations, and build models to better understand the principles of mathematics.
This year’s event has grown to include exhibits on the math and science behind pendulums, phone books, mirrors, eggs, and golf. Bolstered by the outstanding support and enthusiasm of the elementary and middle school faculties, we look forward to a well-attended, fun-filled evening for everyone! Please join us in our exploration and celebration of the amazing field of mathematics!
