Comment by miztech on March 24, 2009 at 8:49pm - Carolyn, thanks for starting this group. Great idea. I am anxious to lurk around since I no longer have access to BB. Sure would be nice if some ISD gave me an account with an emeritus status so I could keep up. ^o^

In my classroom, my kids like to operate at turtle-speed as I like to say. It takes them so long to transition. To help this, I pull up www.online-stopwatch.com on my Promethean Board and pick a timer. They love this, it gets them moving, and it w...
