CSI: Mathematics

Looking for online math enrichment for grades K thru 8th? Georgia Tech has put together an impressive resource. It is called CSI: Mathematics. Click here to check it out! Advertised as a mathematics resource for teachers, students and parents, it is a free list with links to useful activities and games organized by area of focus. It is great for enrichment recommendations for parents to share with their children, center activities, homework practice, and indoor recess options. CSI: Mathematics was created by the Center for Education Integrating Science, Math, and Computing (CEISMC) at Georgia Tech, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Education. Enjoy!

You're Famous!

You may have noticed that I haven't shared many Tuesday Tech Tips lately. It's not an accident either. Truthfully, I have struggled to identify tech tips that are new and exciting. Rather than create one just for the sake of sharing well, that didn't feel very authentic. Why bombard your inbox unnecessarily? It wasn't until today that I came across something fun, easy and probably quite useful. That something is called PhotoFunia. Plaster your face or anyone else's face inside a host of fun, creative designs (see my cute friend's face above on the billboard). If you don't like the idea of creating fun images, interesting text-filled designs can be created too. Check it out:

Even better, create an unusual scene using multiple subjects, such as this one:

Have fun with Photofunia by creating masterful photos for Young Authors Night, book reports, presentations, back to school events, digital portfolios, math museums, community helper projects, or whatever else aligns with your curriculum. Warning: a lot of time can be spent getting lost in the creative spark of PhotoFunia!
