Document Cameras

As with integrating all technology: tech should help you to do things in a method better than you could without or to give students experiences they could not have without. It should not simply move content to another viewing format.

Some great uses for document cameras in the classroom...

- How to Use Document Cameras in the Classroom – 10 Tips for Teachers (mytechclassroom.com)

When considering your content, try to find ways to use technology to increase thinking levels, beyond what a text can typically do...

Assessment and Grading

Assessment and grading are challenging for teachers, students, parents, schools and districts. As we learn more about the best ways to find out what students have learned and how to communicate that to students and parents, changes will need to be made to our long-standing practices. The links below will give you access to texts and web sites that will make this transition more manageable.

Math Standards

OPI Math Ed Wiki: http://opi.mt.gov/groups/mathed/
      Critical Areas At-A-Glance: (even High School--but not by course)
     How aligned is your textbook?  (Achievethecore evaluation docs)
**Print your grade level from these 2 documents (20-60 pages each)--Great teacher ideas/activities and student ideas and questions!! Plus, the practices by grade level! Just keep them in your curriculum binder and review them before you teach a new standard.
~~New Link to the Curriculum Organizers Folder, both MT and NC~~     The Montana Mathematics Grade Level Curriculum Organizers - more teacher examples     Explanations and Examples of Math Standards (NC) - more student examples

Resources organized by Math Practices:
Math Practices Posters by grade band:  (K-1),(2-3), (4-5), (6) (from Jordan  School District, UT)
Want to see what the practices look like in action?  Some nice classroom videos:  www.teachingchannel.org
