This month's blog is
Reading Comprehension Online vs Physical Books
.
We live in the age of massive digitization that has entered almost
every sphere of our lives. That includes education. There has been an
enormous expansion in digital and online learning due to the COVID-19
pandemic, and students today are spending more time studying in front
of the screen. One of the skills all young students have to work on is
reading comprehension. So, how is the digital era affecting this skill?
Guest Blogger Dorian Martin is a skilled content writer with years of experience
covering education-related topics. He mainly focuses on helping young
students, their parents and teachers overcome academic challenges with
ease.

Tech Tip #1: Math Review Project: Math Vlogger
Vloggers create video logs. This project inspires students to pretend
to be a vlogger and create a math video, which is a fun way to
demonstrate their knowledge of a math concept.
Learn more in the article found: HERE.
Tech Tip #2: Calculator Foldables
If you are a math teacher, you use the heck out of your graphing
calculator. Students need all the tips and tricks they can get. The
better they learn to use this great tool, the less stressful they will
find the state exams. As you teach new ways to use a graphing
calculator, provide an image of the calculator on the page, along with
step-by-step instructions.
