Week 8, Thing 19

Played around a little with GoogleEarth, but couldn't download to my laptop due to adminstrator restrictions. Was able to locate a few places using the location piece which was interesting. Would like to explore it further as a tool to use in the classroom.

Week 8, Thing 18

Joined Slidshare and uploaded a powerpoint my teammate made for teaching the steps for dividing decimals. I chose to only share it privately because I am still new at this and learning how to use it myself. Maybe later I can share with the public.

Week 7, Thing 17

Checked out some of the podcasts from Learn Out Loud and found some on Aesop's Fables that were interesting. I thought they could be used to help with reading fluency. Provide students with a copy of the fable and they could follow along reading aloud with the podcast and then on their own.
