Museum of Science and Industry

I was reading a "Gifted Today Child" magazine the other day and the article mentioned the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago as having an excellent website.

Effectivness of Powerpoint and teaching?

This summer I'm taking an Action Research class. I have decided to do my research on the effectiveness of Powerpoint in the classroom. I'm not limiting myself to Powerpoint because I am aware that there are other alternatives out there like open office. I plan on posting my results when I am finished. If you are interested in this topic please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions.

Wacom Bluetooth Tablet

I purchased a Wacom Bluetooth tablet the other day and just got all of the pieces to make it work correctly today.

I haven't tested out the range of it yet but I hope to use it in class tomorrow while we review for the Algebra I semester final.
