We are so glad to be with you today. We look forward to working with you this year. We have much to share with you. We will be blogging this year. The blogs give us and opportunity to share information with each other. This is "your" spot on the web with resources to help you this year.
Thanks, for being here and for all you do for the kids of Madison County.
Tina, Rhonda, and Carol
Let's practice blogging:

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "~Alvin Toffler
"Globalization is not something we can hold off or turn off....it is the economic equivalent of a force of nature----like wind or water."~Bill Clinton

Build & Sell a House and then Invest the Profit - LoTi 4-6: This article describes a year-long project. Students design, "build," and "sell" a house; after which they simulate investment of the profits in the stock market. Along the way, students make scale drawings, compute with fractions and decimals in various contexts, and even solve simple equations.
Linear Regression and Barbie - LoTi 4: Safety vs Thrill... How many rubber bands do you use to bungee Barbie so that the jump is thrilling, but Barbie doesn't get hurt?
Pan Balance Interactive Tool - The number balance is an example of a technology tool that makes a transition. For some students the tool will be useful to make connections to more abstract experiences.
Possible or Not - LoTi 3: Students are given a graph that shows the solution to a problem. Their task is to determine whether or not this graph would be possible or not in the real world
What is the Chance of Rain? - There are long-term events that happen year after year and affect the rainfall pattern. The Bureau of Meteorology analyses the past patterns and tries to predict the future patterns. The predictions are presented as probabilities (chances) and published to help people make informed decisions.

Hello!
I enjoy these workshop days.
I can't wait to learn how to use Turning Points!
Hello,
Technology is taking us over, but don't forget about good ole books!!!
For me, the 21st century quote seems to reinforce the thought that students don't need to know things as long as they know a way to figure it out. I DISAGREE!!! Being able to learn things are really important, but knowing how to spell, write with correct grammar, recite basic facts, etc. is the basis for all learning in my opinion!

Hey! This is my first time "blogging". I agree with the first quote - our students are losing the ability to think for themselves; therefore, they have difficulty truly learning anything. If we are afraid to make a mistake, we cannot learn from them! I only had to touch a hot stove once!
Where we eating for lunch?
I agree with the quote on the
illiterate that cannot read and write
