Education Week's Digital Directions: Social Networking Goes to School

Interesting article to ponder. Social networking is here to stay, now as educators we have to find a way to use effectively to engage our students and our peers.

We just need to educate more teachers and especially administrators on the resources available and how these tools can work with the curriculum we all need to cover.

I just got done playing a memory matching game for math, Math Match, and a fraction game called Jelly Golf. These are just some great interactive games for the whiteboards. There are also over 150 Brain Booster (word problems) you can print out as a PDF. Those seem to be limited to K-3 right now. I will be having my own kids play these games over the summer to help stay sharp.
