DREAMTIME!

In my math classroom I would definitely and absolutely NEED an overhead projector. I love them and kids love them and so I feel that I need one. I would definitely need a computer to track grades and look up answers should a question arise. Computers are also great for looking up lesson plans and creating tests and quizzes. Both the computer and the overhead I would use absolutely every day. I also really like the transparent calculator double screens that you can purchase and plug into calculators like TI-83 Plus's so that the students can see exactly what buttons you are pushing. To be honest, I probably wouldn't use that as much. But, as for the overhead, I would put up the problem of the day, I would show students how to do homework questions and I would introduce new material on it. Students too can use the projector to show the class that they can correctly perform the mathematical sequences and have a little lime light as opposed to boring old Mr. V. always hogging their precious time. :)

Yea, kinda lame I know, but it gets the job done.

lame-o....just joking dude. These ideas sound like some good essentials to a math classroom. I'm pretty sure you should also have some time of nerf b-ball hoop for fun. This is a great peice of technology especially when the nerf ball lights up. Anyway... I feel like I'm stuck in a rut. Any ideas for P.E. and Health?
