Cool Things at CUE

Just wanted to share some of the cool things that I have seen at CUE this weekend. I heard about a really neat website called MATH TV. The students can search for math topics and then pick an instructor. They then can watch a tutorial on the math topic they choose. The topics include all levels, including Calculus. I think this is a great resource for students to use when they are home doing homework.

I also saw the Eno board, a smart board competitor. I like this board a lot and would love to use one in my classroom, along with a class set of slates. The students would use the slate to write answers to questions given through dyknow(?). It would be a great way for students to do math problems on their computer and it would allow the teacher to know right away what each student does or does not understand.

I, also attended a workshop on two websites that allow a teacher to search their database for computer software and free websites that have interactive games and instructional aides. The two websites are clrn.org and thinkfinity.com. This saves a ton of time, all the sites are checked for credibility and appropriateness so the teacher just has to find an appropriate game/activity to use in the classroom.

  1. Glad you liked the Eno board. Thanks for stopping by our booth. Send me a message if you'd like to set up a demo or if you have any more questions. I hope the rest of the conference was great for you!
