I love this new way of thinking. Take a concept (in my case, a tested indicator) and infuse a good dose of technology into it. My newest project...Business Brochures to tackle the objective of percents. Each student will create a business selling an item(s). They will figure the tax for when they sell the item. They will offer a discounted price. And then, of course, must find the total cost with tax if the item is purchased on sale.
Stay tuned for examples, rubrics, and handouts.
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.
