I don't know where I saw this, but I downloaded an APP called socrative.  You can put in quizzed, bell ringers, or space game problems and then the kids can get in groups and use their phone as an answering source.  You are limited to what kinds of problems you can type- nothing that requires mathtype, but might be fun to use for stuff like solving equations or review at the beginning of the year reviewing 8th grade material.  It's so cool.  My only issue will be if it's blocked at school- that's the first thing I'll have to check.

Tetris Quilt Along - Week 2

I found a site with some awesome games I might add to my collection for next year.

2.  Poker
3.  Lucky 7
4.  Balloon Pop- Who knows, I might even try and use read balloons

I know we don't use chalk in school any more, but I almost am tempted to create one of these

Do you think I could talk GISD into giving me Professional Development for all the time I spend pinning education stuff from pinterest?
