This month's blog is
Genius Methods to Calculate 10x Times Faster Than a Calculator
.
M- Mental A- Abuse T- To H- Humans, that's how students define the
calculative subject nowadays. The majority of the students
dislike the academic discipline mainly due to lengthy
calculations. The situation worsens when they sit for an exam
where the magical tool, viz., the calculator is prohibited.
Moreover, as per a recent survey, 56.4% of the students believe
that math isn't their cup of tea. But sadly, you may like or
hate math, but you can't ignore it.
This blog highlights
the best math techniques which will help you to calculate faster than
a calculator. Well, the time has come to throw the 'magical tool' out
of the window.

Tech Tip #1: Six Ed Tech Tools to Try in 2020
Jennifer Gonzalez covers six great ed tech tools for teachers to try
in 2020. Tools make her list based on combining three criteria:
"Tools I just learned about in the past year or so. They may
have been around a lot longer, but I'm just now hearing about
them, so that makes me think a lot of others haven't heard
about them either...
Tools that are doing something I haven't seen before, something
a little bit groundbreaking that will likely be copied by others
down the line...
Tools I would like to see more students using."

Tech Tip #2: Five Must-Use Google Chrome Extensions for Busy Teachers
Chrome extensions are these neat little programs that extend the
functionality of your Chrome browser - and you should definitely be
using them if you aren't already.

Tech Tip #3: Seven Uses for a USB Stick You Didn't Know
We've all used USB sticks to transport files between computers and
back up our files, but there are other cool things you can do with a
USB stick. You can use one to lock and unlock your computer - just
like in the movies.
You can also use a USB flash drive to quickly connect to a wireless
network on all your PCs, increase your computer's performance, or
even run a web server directly from the USB stick itself.
You can find out more: HERE.
