The Number Crew is a suite of 5 CD-ROMs covering math topics for grades K – 1. Children watch video segments introducing concepts and discuss the story lines and the math with their classmates. Topics are reinforced with entertaining and interactive exercises.

With an interactive whiteboard or data projector, each program can be used to effectively teach whole classes, or individual students can review topics as needed.

Children are given the opportunity to represent their ideas in many ways throughout the year. They draw pictures; make graphs; use manipulatives to model situations; and use numbers, tallies or objects to keep track as they count.

Lesson notes are provided with suggestions for class discussions and feedback.

The Number Crew Suite includes 5 Number Crew CD-ROMs:
Know Your Numbers 1
Know Your Numbers 2
Calculations
Measures, Shapes and Space
Solving Problems

I'm hooked on Amazon's KINDLE -- a Christmas gift this year. As a computer technology teacher, I am usually VERY critical about the latest tech gadgets -- particularly those products related to education and learning.
But the KINDLE is everything Amazon says it is, and more.
The screen resolution is top-notch. I've read from it for over 3 hours at a time, and I experienced no eye strain (my eyes are suffering after 3 hours reading from my laptop.)
The controls are simple and easy to use, and downloading was a snap!
I've been a fan (and customer) of Amazon for years. I'll continue to buy from Amazon, but its all Kindle downloads from here on out!

Academic Superstore is now offering a vast array of interactive, whole class teaching software! Check them out!

Whole Class Teaching Solutions

While educators have always realized the importance of whole-class teaching, since the introduction of No Child Left Behind, more schools are actively searching for tools to help them reach every student in the classroom.

Many schools have experienced the benefits of using interactive whiteboards to captivate the attention of all students in the classroom, regardless of their learning styles. But teachers are often limited by the rudimentary software included with their IWB.


All the whiteboard 'bells and whistles' options will delight 'tech-savvy' educators, but may frustrate the other excellent teachers in your school. Teachers welcome interactive whiteboard technology, but they need software that is appropriate for the subject and skill level of their students.


The use of traditional software with an interactive whiteboard creates more challenges. Designed for use on individual PCs or Macs, these software programs may not allow students in the back of the classroom to clearly see all elements on the board. More importantly, the software may not be designed to involve all students in the lesson and encourage them to participate in class discussions.


Forward thinking software publishers have realized the need for special applications designed with interactive whiteboards and whole-class teaching in mind. These publishers have designed their applications to:
- Be compatible with all interactive whiteboards available in the market.
- Have all elements of the screen easily viewed from any location in the classroom.
- Pose questions and provide tools that will actively involve all students in class discussions.
- Make it easy to reach controls and tools while working at the interactive whiteboard.
- Provide whiteboard tools and high-quality visuals that can be used across the curriculum.

InterACTIVE Whiteboard Software for Classroom Teachers

Many schools are experiencing the benefits of using interactive whiteboards to captivate the attention of all students in the classroom, regardless of their learning styles.

But teachers are often limited by the rudimentary software included with their IWB. All the whiteboard 'bells and whistles' options will delight the 'tech-savvy' educators, but may frustrate the other excellent teachers in your school.

Teachers welcome interactive whiteboard technology, but they need software that is appropriate for the subject and skill level of their students.

These award-winning software programs have been specifically designed for use with an interactive whiteboard:

• InterACTIVE math toolbox (grades K to 8)
• InterACTIVE math lessons (grades K to 8)
• The Number Crew Series (grades K to 2)
• Birchfield Biology Series (grades 8 to 12+)
• Physics Virtual Lab Series (grades 9 to college level)
• Chemistry Virtual Lab (grades 9 to college level)
  
  
  

Teaching Math with your IWB - Software Options

When evaluating math software to be used with an interactive whiteboard in elementary and middle school classrooms, there are several key elements that should be considered.

• Is the software designed so that students can view the elements on the screen from any location in the classroom?
• Does the software provide content that will help students learn required topics throughout the school year?
• Will teachers and students find the software to be easy to navigate and manipulate so that time is spent learning math concepts rather than learning how to use the application?
• Will the software work with the interactive whiteboard that is in the classroom?
  

Math software for interactive whiteboards can be divided into two categories:

CONTENT BASED programs for teaching and exploring math concepts. These software programs offer pre-designed lessons ideal for whole-class teaching or independent student learning.

TOOL BASED programs allowing teachers to design, create, and save lessons for the specific needs of their students.

Most publishers offer free demonstration software prior to purchase, through website download or CD-ROM request.
