Gaynell Castor Rogers High School As I have mentioned many times previously, I think that a different way of processing the information in my content area, specifically geometry in this case, is through Geometer's Sketchpad. Students will process the information better if they are actually taking part in the discovery of the objectives that they are to learn. The processing of the information is coming through the technology in the classroom that they actually have control of to come up without sitting in their desks taking notes and doing examples which is what they are used to. I don't have all the answers yet, but I am trying very hard to make sure that all of my classes have my updated look on teaching. Students will more likely remember something that they came up with themselves as opposed to me standing up there and cramming it down their throat. I think that I am also going to work with my Algebra I students on the graphing calculator which is something I rarely do. They think those caclulators are so cool, I should use that to my advantage. I'm sure I can find good software for Algebra I that I like as much as I like Geometer's Sketchpad. As a side note, there is a new version of Geometer's Sketchpad that is awesome! If we are going to get Sketchpad, the newest version is great!

Sherry Karamol Clay High School I think that a different way for students to process the content that we are studying whether it is genetics, cytology, ecology or evolution is to collaborate on [|www.nature.com/scitable]. This is a social network for scientists, teachers and students. So instead of me presenting the content with book work or power point presentations, the students can discuss topics with experts with the most up to date information. As a teacher, I can build a classroom with articules that are on point and have online discussions with students, myself and experts. Besides this feature there is a help center as well if they are stumped on something.
