Podcasts

-High school: Math Tutor DVD Algebra Word Problem Tutor http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?i=37210010&id=290387290

-Middle school: Ms. Willis' Class Adding Decimals http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?i=40777400&id=292662548

- Elementary: Mrs. Bradley's Kindergarten Class Making Pulley's http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?i=41616476&id=106439536

The Math Tutor DVD is a great tool. The teacher is a little boring, and his introduction is a bit lengthy. I think this would help high school students struggling with math.

Social bookmarking in the Classroom

Social bookmarking can be a great thing for both students and teachers. Teachers can share links they find helpful and tag them under the appropriate subject. Tagging the websites will make for easier access to certain subjects. With social bookmarking you do not have to worry about losing the address. Students can look at websites their teachers bookmark to help them in research or homework.
