Hungry Teacher as created another great lesson!! Check out 'Mathionary'. Teaching mathematics with a Dictionary? It can be done. Mathematical Domains: The Number System, Measurement and Data Topics: fractions, percents, decimals, graphing, measurement Grade Level(s): Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth Duration: Approximately 1-2 hours
Again if you haven't tried 'The Frankenstein Project', give it a shot. My students loved this lesson. I can't wait to see what HT has in store for us next. Our school is also using the Dan Meyer 'Taco Truck' lesson to teach...
Hello fellow educators!
If you could spare a few minutes for our Food technology class- we are studying the changes in Food habits over the last 200 yrs of Australian history. If u have a google account could you please sign in, select edit and add the staple food from your country? Easy to use -follow directions in map to LHS. We have had a terrific response so far!

Tom,
Thanks for the link - with what I currently know and the video that you linked I think I can make sense of the process.
It is a video that I will be forwarding to my principal as it may be a good thing to look at as a staff - I will also be sending out the link/invite to this site to the staff as a whole.
Thanks again
Dan
There are a number of tutorials on this site to help you out. The Main Page has lists of educators to follow on Twitter. This video also on this site will be most helpful, http://edupln.ning.com/video/twitter-102-for-educators.
Ok, here goes,
Hello all. Just thought I would say hi. I am new here.... very new.... I came to this entire website based on my fascination with the posts that were being made by Tom Whitby. However, I must admit that while I am facinated by the use of twitter technology and I agree with Tom when he posted, or at least I am pretty sure that it was he that said , there is no teaching someone to tweet - simply start doing it. I passed this on to my students who started. I have had a twitter account for over a year and I must confess that I am still not sure how this hash tag thing is supposed to work. I tried watching a video on the subject on the Edublog site Teacher Reboot Camp but the link was dead. Can someone please send me some very basic instructions on how to participate in this particular group.
Thanks for your time and patience in reading this post :)
Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...
I sincerely apologize if any of you are receiving this message more than once. We are trying to reach as many teachers/students as possible around the world. It's possible that you're a member of more than one of the groups I have joined. My apologies!
My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.
I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.
If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.
We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!
Our twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire
Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.
Rossel Mulaire
Colegio Euroamericano,
8th and 9th grade Social Studies teacher
Social Studies Department Head and Model United Nations Advisor
