 * My Goal:
 * To use technology to differentiate instruction in Everyday Math.

My Questions:
 * 1) what are the programs,games,videos and resources that will help me teach everyday Math to Grade 1 students?
 * 2) How can smart board technology support differentiation in class?
 * 3) How can I manage my use of technology so that students gain more Math skills from and not another technology class?


 * What do we know?**
 * I use the everyday math iTLG as a resource to project information for whole class discussions
 * How does this connect to my professional practice?**
 * Students get the opportunity to use technology as a tool for learning
 * Students are able to watch videos about topics being learnt in class as a review or as a way to tune in to the inquiry process
 * What do we want to know?**
 * What else can do with technology to enhance teaching and learning

**What am I learning?**
Teacher Tube > > > Khan Academy
 * http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-1
 * Its a place to find lots of lessons,activities and videos to extend teaching and learning.
 * Students in the upper end can use this as an extension as questions increase in **difficulty**
 * 1) Here is a list of all of the skills students learn in first grade! The skills are organized into categories, and you can move your mouse over any skill name to see a sample question. To start practicing, just click on any link. IXL will track your score, and the questions will even increase in difficulty as you improve!
 * Didn't get that much and needed subscription

 * =====I get lots of lessons to use with notebook software=====
 * Its a great way to review concepts already learnt in class
 * I use their games a lot in centers
 * it sometimes takes a long time to load so you need to download before lesson
 * You can preview just to be sure if you really want that particular lesson
 * It is grade level specific and their searches are very friendly.
 * It is grade level specific and their searches are very friendly.

**How am I synthesizing information?**
[|Telling Time]
 * To review the concept of time and to offer extra and higher order thinking.

 * ** To review various topics **
 * [|Measurements]

[|Quest Garden] [|Math extentions]

How am I testing my hypothesis?
 * Using them in class in small groups

How am I applying my new learning in my own practice?
 * I am having a lot of extensions during my math class and students are challenged.

Is my plan working?

 * 1) Students love to get more challenge
 * 2) T hey feel so successful
 * I still have a host of the websites below to revisit and use.
