Moving forward is a good thing. If you don't move, you become stagnant. If you become stagnant, you smell. (I'm going with a creek bed analogy here...stay with me). "It Is What It Is" helps us to keep our sanity as we try new things, but at the same time we should never settle for "what it is". We should constantly reflect and learn to move our teaching and our student's learning to higher levels so the classroom doesn't turn stale.

PBL Progress - Idea Sketch, Tony Vincent, & Other Apps
Tony Vincent's "Learning In Hand" is a great site for learning about iPod and iPad applications. He has some information about planning a PBL and using iPad applications. Below is my idea web using Idea Sketch, a free iPad application. The blue boxes depict the guiding questions. The orange boxes show activities that the students will be doing. The yellow boxes are the math indicators met by the activities. And finally, the pink boxes show the technology that will be used to accomplish the task.
Other neat applications that I learned about was Side by Side (cost $0.99). This application allows the user to view multiple screens on their iPad while taking notes. StoryKit is free and is a tool for organizing an online book.
