Real People Don't Have Time for Social Media

Traveling back and forth between conferences and also talking to people new to social media, one of the biggest fears I'm hearing about jumping into a 2.0 world is that there's simply not enough time in their lives to learn and participate. This tells me 2 things: people DO understand that to learn from social media, you need to invest time. Additionally, our time is a precious commodity (which we all have to guard jealously).

Higher level thinking… Continue

Virtual Math Manipulatives

Found a great site: http://www.nlvm.usu.edu/ by clicking around on the prufrock.com blog. Love the type and amount of math manipulatives available and the way it is organized. It would have a lot of uses in the classroom, but is also a lot of fun for kids to explore with on their own.
