Universal Design for Learning

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

5 new technologies to try (Final Week of class)

1. Glogster
2. Backup files to GoogleDocs
3. Use bubbl.com
4. Utilize interactive template to facilitate student learning with intro to geometry.
5. Use edmodo.com more and learning about its capabilities.

4 ideas to share with others

1. Filing your taxes online is safe and cheap (turbotax.com). (JK)...Google docs rock, start using them now!
2. I saved a bunch of money by switching my car insurance to Geico.(JK)...check out wolframalpha.com
3. Google search Algebra I Online (Henrico Public Schools offers an awesome site for Math)
4. Cell phones are actually great for recording class activities. No need for a video camera anymore...you just need the right cords.
