Tech Tuesday

#1: Crazy Talk

Software to make people/cartoon characters/animals talk. A really fun tool to add life to your projects.

Crazy Talk Software  $29.00 (You can apply for an educator discount and get it for half price!)

Examples:
  • Albert Einstein talking about the Chasing Einstein Challenge

#2: Esti-Mysteries 

This is a fun math routine created by Steve Wyborney. It could be modified for any grade level.

#3: Nearpod

Interactive presentation tool. A great way to deliver lessons to students in a 1:1 environment. Lessons can be created for any grade level or you can choose existing lessons from their library.

#4: Mashup Math Puzzles

Fun math puzzles that are great for helping students develop their algebraic thinking skills. You can purchase a book full of them or use the free ones that are available on the web site.

#5: Math Doodles - iPad App

The app costs $2.99, but I think it's worth it. It has several different games/activities for helping students build number sense. I really like the multiple representations of numbers (dice, hands, ten frames, tally marks) that the app uses. The web site has more details on the app as well.
