Middle School Math
The video demonstrates quite nicely the need for visual and kinesthetic instructional methods in the class room. I love the fact the he utilizes the competitive nature of boys to help them focus. It would be very nice to have all the technology available in my class room.
Special Education Math
I find the more I can put a project into -- hands on components or become a project my students might actually be interested in-- the more they are engaged. I would love to have a document camera.
