Considering iPads for your high school Geometry classroom?

Considering iPads for your high school Geometry classroom?

Here are some options:

Got only one iPad for the classroom?

     Try Geometry Sketchpad Explorer for iPad - The Geometer's Sketchpad Resource Center

Want to use iPads with smart board technology?

     Check out what one California district did.

Got a BYOD classroom?

     How about Geometry Pad, a personal assistant, for iPad and Android tablets.

Considering games?

     This looks like fun: Super Hexagon (99 cents)

And if you're going "all in", here are two possibilities:

     Geometry iPad apps - more than an online textbook -- for your school or district

     Geometry Classroom for iPad on the iTunes App Store

Any more to add to this list?

Using Facebook and YouTube to Teach Math

Who poo-poohs social media for teaching and learning? Not I ...

Seabury alum Ben Rogers uses Facebook, along with his website Crewton Ramone's House of Math to get the word out about his super simple method of learning math.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Makawao-HI/Crewton-Ramones-House-of-Math/204602101536?ref=nf

And, Ben is putting up simple and effective lessons on YouTube, like this one about making change for $100.00, and (the formerly dreaded) nine times tables:

"Using Addends to make change for $100.00 & multiply by nines"


Who says social media and education don't mix very well?
Not I ...

Bravo, Ben!
