Fun Brain
So…this website has it all! There are resources for teachers and fun activities for students. I found myself as a college student being a little addicted to this site. There are games for all discipline areas as well as many resouces for teachers and even parents to use. Many of the games are related to one or more discipline area and are very interactive. I think that the reading section is pretty cool because students can actually take a look at a couple of books. A couple of books that I know are popular with students are featured on the site!

As a teacher, I think allowing students to create a video would be a great and fun way for students to be creative and learn. Students could make an informative video about something we are learning or they could create a video which shows me what they have learned. The truth is film allows for students to do many things and the following website gives helpful and informative tips about using video cameras in the classroom.

The author of the website has useful and informative information and links about using technology in the classroom. One aspect of the site that I love is that you can click on a discipline area and find specific information about that area!
Only One??
I opened my web browser just a second ago and saw the following headline on Yahoo!: “Study: Math Teachers a Chapter Ahead of Students”
This headline caught my attention right away. If you get a chance…read this article. The article discusses and points out the major need for more math teachers. The article also discusses the struggles that many schools, especially those located in urban areas have in finding a teacher licensed in math period.
