I have been very intentional in the public school teaching jobs I have chosen. First I was a PE teacher, now I am a gifted education teacher. I chose these jobs because I believe in active, hands-on, and joyful learning.

From the 30th anniversary of Mathematica, see also: “ We’ve Come a Long Way in 30 Years (But You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet!) ”. Mathematica 1.0 was launched on June 23, 1988.

What is cooperative learning? Cooperative learning is an instructional model designed to improve student learning outcomes by promoting teamwork. Do you allow students to work together on small group learning projects? If so, you're already modeling cooperative learning strategies in your classroom.

We know technology is a challenge for veteran teachers. It wasn’t part of their teacher training program so they rely on school PD to fill the many holes in blending tech with education. What is surprising is that many teacher programs don’t prepare their graduates well for the rigors of using technology to meet current educational requirements.

During my visit to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio I learned that amusement parks can be as educational as they are entertaining.
