Lessons

My inquiry involve incorporating technology into my math lessons. This included the use of a lot of new apps (Go back to Learn More if you would like to see my technology slide show). 

This page will have resources including a few apps I focused on, lessons created through Google Apps For Education (GAFE), as well as some student examples. While I focused on math, you can take any of these lessons/ideas and adapt them to work another subject, or different grade levels.
