Okay so in the teasers so far we have gotten:
Season 1: Riptide
Season 2: Come Sail Away
Season 3: Everybody Wants to Rule the World
I know the show hasn't been renewed yet, but just for fun while we wait for November, what songs would you pick for books 4 & 5?
I love the idea of bring Riptide back for a final season, but I have no clue what they might pick for Battle of the Labyrinth.
At my school, every student gets a physical planner for the year. However, I have several students who I think would better benefit from a digital option that's bookmarked on their chromebook, to avoid the challenges of (1) keeping track of a physical planner and (2) not being able to "move" tasks to a different day and revise action plans as they go (unless they spend a lot of time erasing and rewriting). Any ideas or suggestions about what I could provide / recommend to my students?
For context, this is for a pre-algebra curriculum as a math teacher. I want to give students more opportunities to examine, interpret, and model real-world data, using skills like slope and line of best fit to draw conclusions and make predictions.
I feel like I waste so many hours searching the internet for good, public data sets that are relevant and interesting for 12-14 year olds. Do you know of any good “database” websites that can serve as a central, starting point?

In my direct instruction, I sometimes use PearDeck + Google Slides to make the lesson more interactive for students. However, I find that Google slides doesn’t have as many features and tools as programs like PowerPoint or Smartboard. (For example, I can make animated diagrams to visualize key Geometric relationships in PowerPoint, but in Google slides I can only attach photos or videos.) I wish I could have the best of both options.
Any favorite programs or tools that you use for your slides?
(For context, I teach middle school math & use an iPad projected to the board during direct instruction.)
I’m working on integrating dynamic geometry environments more into my 8th grade Geometry course next year (mainly for investigations). Hoping to get a better sense for the pros/cons of each website.
I have more experience with Geogebra (I’ve created and assigned some investigations in there), but from playing around on Desmos Geometry, the tools seem easier to navigate from a student-perspective. However, I notice Desmos Geometry has a lot fewer tools (for example, measuring angles or length). For teachers who have used one or both sites, what do you prefer and why?
For context, this would be for 7th/8th grade math.
I'm looking for tools that can:
(1) Generate an online exit-ticket / quiz for the end of lesson (something students can do in <5 minutes, just 2-4 questions)
(2) Analyze the responses (or even just produce results, like a google form) to help me quickly create differentiated groupings for the next day's work period.
(If it can also produce material for the different groups, I'm all for it, but that's not as necessary.)
I though Khan Academy's Khanmigo tool could work, but I'm struggling with their generator - it can create the quizzes but they're for print, not digital. I like quizziz for longer tasks, but the game-ification element makes it take too long for students to get started. I need this to be quick.
My ideal scenario: I type in the topic / standard --> I get a shareable, online, 2-3 question quiz --> I paste the link into the end of my lesson slides --> At the end of the lesson, students open their chromebooks & complete the quiz before they leave --> At the end of the day, I open the quiz analytics and see a set of suggested groupings for target support / enrichment for the next day's class.
Does anyone have something like this?
I'm considering flipping my 7th grade Pre-Algebra class this upcoming school year. My colleague flips hers, and I want us to be relatively unified in what we do. My colleague records video from her ELMO while writing on a guided-note handout. I was thinking I could screen-record from my slides (I use powerpoint on an ipad) while recording audio into my phone, then stitching the files together.
Still...I know there are better resources out there for making videos that are better-suited to flipped learning. Anyone have a website/tool they use that they really like?
