Nonlinguistic Representations/Inspiration/Solving Two Step Equations: Students are using the software: using the lab, individual? group? Pre assessment, practice, post assessment WHY? The way I was teaching it before wasn't working? You can tell what the kids are thinking. Help reinforce the sequential? differentiation?

Summarizing and Notetaking in Science (Biomes): blogs: each kid has different pieces to add, a place to summarize, a place to discuss: jigsaw ideas, in school using the lab or laptops, system for approval, being part of a blog they don't have to do the whole thing, sharing responsibility, a place for the less verbal kids to get involved.
