10 + 1 Steps to Meaningful Student Blogging
by Pernille Ripp Three years ago I started blogging with my 4th grade students on a whim. I knew three things at the start: I wanted to get them connected with each other; I wanted to give them a voice, and I knew I had to change the way they wrote. So I started blogging with them – fumbling my way through the how to and the when to. What I had no way of knowing was how blogging would change the way I taught, how blogging would give my students a way to speak to the world, and how blogs would make it possible for them to create lasting global connections with other children. Blogging has since become an integral part of my classroom. So when I meet with any teacher who wonders how to lower the walls of their classroom and create more authentic learning opportunities, my first advice is to get students blogging. If they’re interested, I share these steps. 10 + 1 Steps to Meaningful Student Blogging 1. You have to reflect on why it is you want to have students blog. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Vedic Mathematics
Mark Gaskell introduces an alternative system of calculation based on Vedic philosophy At the Maharishi School in Lancashire we have developed a course on Vedic mathematics for key stage 3 that covers the national curriculum. The results have been impressive: maths lessons are much livelier and more fun, the children enjoy their work more and expectations of what is possible are very much higher. Vedic maths comes from the Vedic tradition of India. The remarkable system of Vedic maths was rediscovered from ancient Sanskrit texts early last century. This can easily be extended to solve problems such as 3,000 minus 467. The sutra "vertically and crosswise" has many uses. The whole approach of Vedic maths is suitable for slow learners, as it is so simple and easy to use. The sutra "vertically and crosswise" is often used in long multiplication. We can extend this method to deal with long multiplication of numbers of any size. We can cross-subtract either way: 96-8=88 or 92-4=88. N.B.

Education
“When are we ever going to use this?” When I was a teacher, this was a question I heard almost daily. I would imagine that has not changed much since I left the classroom five years ago, particularly when it comes to math. Students are naturally inquisitive about what they are learning and why, as they should be. However, as teachers continually make a concerted effort to connect mathematics and common, everyday occurrences in students’ lives outside of the classroom, this question will go the way of the chalkboard. Game-based learning Students don’t just play board games like they used to, instead they look to find those same “board” game in Web-based or app format to download to a phone, tablet, etc. At the end of a long day, a tired first grade student lifts her chair, flips it over and lays the seat down on the top of her desk. Before we look at the choices a teacher has in getting the chair from the floor to the top of the desk, let’s examine what both choices have in common:
