The 150 point project: an annual experiment in academic freedom | : the readiness is all
During my first or second year of teaching AP English Language I showed my class the beginning of the movie Patton as an example of rhetoric. Well, later that year we had some free time so we watched the whole movie. In talking about the movie I found myself hooked on the following quote: “Never tell people how to do things. Now I’d like to tell you how my stunning brilliance led to an immediate epiphany of profound depth, but instead it was just one more episode of me stubbornly searching for a solution to a problem that was possibly beyond my abilities. See I was never a great student in high school and by great student I mean I never wanted to do what I was told. The first was a research paper on violence in America. Then there was my attempt at some much needed extra credit. I approached my senior year English teacher and asked him if I could write some original poems and perform them at a local bar where they had a regular open-mike night. I began to do this whenever I could.
Pearltrees - Visually Organize and Share Collections of Files and Links
Pearltrees is a visual bookmarking tool that I first tried nearly five years ago. Over the years it has changed in response to feedback from its users. One of those changes was a transition from free-form webs of related files and links to its current format of visual squares and folders. I'm a big fan of the current format. Pearltrees now allows you to organize collections of links, videos, images, and files. All of your collections appear in your Pearltrees homescreen and from there you can access and add to any of your collections. Pearltrees offers a handful of ways to share your collections of resources. Applications for EducationPearltrees recently published a good guide to using their service in schools. Last but not least, Pearltrees now offers a slideshow display option that you can use when viewing all of the resources in a collection.

Mathletes: Students solve 375K algebra equations in 4 days with iOS app
Students across Washington did some serious algebra work this week — and I mean serious like 400,000 problems in four days kind of work. As part of the Washington State Algebra Challenge, K-12 students used an iteration of a learning app called DragonBox to try and solve 250,000 equations in just one week. They did that and much more, as 4,000 students ended up finishing off nearly 400,000 equations for the past five days. “It’s fun to watch them get excited and competitive about math,” Governor Jay Inslee said in a press release. “Every one of these students might be a future doctor, engineer or business owner and these kinds of competitions really help generate enthusiasm for boosting STEM education in Washington.” Participating classes had a chance to play a free online version of DragonBox, a multi-platform math learning game among the top-selling learning apps in the App Store. But it’s the first-timers that can benefit the most. Previously on GeekWire: Northeastern Univ.

Blendspace & Math in a 1:1 Classroom
I observed an above the line math lesson with Ms. F, 5th grade teacher, this morning. I WISH every student in the world could experience this learning environment. I walked in the room with students working quietly at their tables, eying up and down between the laptop screen and a dry erase board or spiral notebook. Blendspace is a website where the teacher posts all his/her resources into one place with directions included as they move about at their own pace. There were 15 activities included in the Blendspace. Another activity within the Blendspace was for students to record themselves in iMovie walking through a problem with variables. Ms F. spent a lot of time curating all her resources in Blendspace, but as the students work at their own pace, she is using her time to help her students.
