I would like to incorporate more graphic organizers into my class. Until winter break we will be working with two types of equations, now/next equations and algebraic equations. I would like to create a compare and contrast chart on Inspiration for these two types. This way they can see how the two are related but at the same time look at how they are different. This type of chart will help students organize information. This was one tool that the article we read suggested. I do have a lot of students that require the use of graphic organizers.   **__ 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 __** 5 new technologies to try: http://www.helpalgebra.com/, interactivate, illuminations, interactives: 3-D shape, prezi 4 ideas to share with others: using apps for ipod or apple, zotero, using prezi for presentations, having students use glogster for presentations 3 principles of Universal Design for Learning: representation, expression, engagement 2 changes in your teaching to reach all learners in the Digital Age: giving students multiple resources to access content outside of class by updating links on my wikispace for my class, giving students more options for ways of assessment (writing, presenting, creating glogster or wordle posters  1 BIG idea to implement “on Monday”: show students to use online text book to access at home    Culminating Activity #2:
