Appropriate Grade Levels for Cell Phone Integration
I am a technology coach in my building and many teachers approach me regularly about whether or not kids can utilize cell phones for in-class activities.

I'm wondering if anyone has any information regarding incorporating cell phones (with a plan and AUP) in grades 6-8? There is a pretty large cadre of teachers and parents who feel that the middle school is not…See More

I would like to do some type of virtual trench activity for my WWI unit. I found great resources on the BBC site, but I'm looking for something more interactive. Does anyone have ideas as to how the kids could experience the feeling of being in a trench? I also do another type of mock trench activity, but I'm looking for something virtual.

John J Caprice said… - Dear Elise,
I have just run some tests on a new wireless pen/mouse. I would like to send you one for free to evaluate. Yep! Its yours to keep. All I ask is that you All I ask is that you try it out in your class and let me know if it is helpful in your class.
If you have any doubts about my sincerity, please call ELMO USA 800-947-3566, speak to Maria or Melody and ask them about my character.
These Pen/mouse gizmos will allow you or your students to operate the Smart Board from anywhere in the room, on any surface. It is a little easier to write with than a tablet. I am working on my epenmanship. vised@optonline.net
