‘By Request – Ten Helpful Resources for Middle School and High School Math Teachers’ by Richard Byrne

Richard Byrne’s latest blog post is titled “By Request – Ten Helpful Resources for Middle School and High School Math Teachers”.

Richard says, “Recently, on the Free Technology for Teachers Facebook page someone asked for suggestions for math resources for grades 7-12. That covers a broad range of topics in math, but I’ve done my best to cobble together a list of resources that I think will help middle school and high school math teachers and their students. I have not included the obvious option of Khan Academy.”

‘Interdental L for Emphasis’ by Neal Whitman

Neal Whitman’s latest blog post is titled “Interdental L for Emphasis”.

Neal says, ““Who put Blackfish on our Netflix queue?” my wife asked.“Oh, that was me. Entertainment Weekly recommended it.”She didn’t want to watch it, though, so I ended up watching the documentary on killer whales in captivity myself, while I wrapped Christmas presents last week. It was a well-done film, and it was short enough that I even watched the DVD extras while I finished wrapping. They included an interview with marine biologist Dr. Naomi Rose, in a segment called “The Truth About Wild Whales.””

‘Knowing me, Knowing you: 11’ by Miguel Mendoza

Miguel Mendoza’s latest blog post is titled “Knowing me, Knowing you: 11”.

Miuel says, “OK. So I have been tagged and now I will share with you a bit of myself in 11 random facts and my 11 answers to questions from two amazing taggers. You might be wondering what this is all about. Well, it is this chain started – this I presume- by  a fellow ELT-er and the idea is to invite an EFL-ESL colleague to “reveal” personal information few or no one from his/her professional (passionate) learning network know about them. To do that you are supposed to write 11 random facts about yourself, answer 11 questions the tagger asked you and invite 11 colleagues to do the same. You can sort of represent the whole process like this:”
