Fabulous Friday Technology Tip(F2T2)- Volume 3- 6th edition

Congratulations!!

September 2015 is here!! Labor Day Weekend has arrived!

Greetings!! This is the “6th  edition" of the Fabulous Friday Technology Tip (F² T²) that shares technology tools and resources that can be integrated into your daily lessons, unit plans and classroom centers.

This edition will be the final set of tips that will  offer easy ways in which you can seamlessly integrate technology into your daily and weekly classroom routines. Each tip has embedded links to assist you with implementation.

1. Make geography a daily event.
   For most kids, geography has something to do with maps -- and maps are boring! Extend students geography awareness by challenging them to answer the five daily questions posed at GeoBee Challenge. The questions are taken from the National Geographic Geography Bee. Maybe your students will get good enough to compete in this years event! Looking for a quicker lesson? Find the distance between any two cities in the world at How Far Is It? By the way, National Geographics Map Machinecan even make maps fun!
2. Keep 'em guessing!
   It's Friday afternoon and most students have their eyes on the clock and their minds on a weekend of freedom. If you have access to enough computers that students can work individually or in small groups, try to keep the learning going with some stimulating online games. Solving the problems at Mystery Netgenerally demands more logic than Math. That sites features include Get-a-Clue, a daily mystery appropriate for younger students; See-n-Solve, a weekly mystery featuring USA TV's Detective Monk; and Solve-it!, a monthly mystery in which students read a mystery and then solve the crime. The latter two activities are best for older students. Or, simply reward students for a week of hard work by allowing them a few minutes to play some of the online Logic Games at SuperKids. Games include Battleship, checkers, tic-tac-toe, BreakOut, and more.
