PowerPoint
I decided to use PowerPoint to tie technology and creativity into math a little more. The students have to create a PowerPoint related to our unit of study. They have specific criteria to follow as well. They are told to create their own word problem. They must include the word problem in their PowerPoint. Then, they have to show the steps they used to solve their word problem. They are given a copy of a rubric so that they know how their PowerPoint will be graded. There is a copy of my PowerPoint rubric under the Rubrics tab at the top of this page. Here are a few examples:

Edmodo
_I have been using Edmodo during Language Arts. My students use
Edmodo to answer Essential Questions and respond to questions I pose
for both Guided Reading and Shared Reading/Read Alouds. They respond
not only to me, but they also read and respond to each other. My
students use Netbooks and iPod Touches to access Edmodo.
Apps: Creative Book Builder and iBooks
Several students in my Math class chose to create a scrapbook on fractions using the iPod Touch. They created them in an app called Creative Book Builder. Then, they generated the book and emailed it to me. I turned it into this QR code.
If you have iBooks on your device, feel free to scan and have a look!

Glogster
_My TAG
students have been using technology to create some of their TAG
projects. They have used Glogster to create a glog for our Math and Language Arts concepts.
