Great idea having the kids design a new wing for an art museum!
Steve at 6:58 PM, 11 Dec 2012
I'm always a fan of the student role-play idea. Love casting them as curators

I love how creative you got with technology.
Rachel S. at 7:07 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Fantastic Blabber example! Keeps the kids engaged.

How fun! Great way to show students about math as well.

Very impressive. Lots of work went into this project.
Jennifer at 7:06 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Good call, Ian.

Excellent resources. The students will love this.
Milka at 7:06 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Simulator site is a fantastic resource!
Nicole at 7:05 PM, 11 Dec 2012
I love math!
Michelle at 7:05 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Maybe add a "why the house wins" component to close (consequences, real-world connection)
Ian at 7:05 PM, 11 Dec 2012

Michelle at 7:05 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Nice use of videos for introduction to poker.
Nicole at 7:04 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Love tying math lesson to poker!
Steve at 7:04 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Good concern about the content, but seriously: the students will LOVE this.
Ian at 7:04 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Fun choice of images.
Rachel S. at 7:04 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Dig that cat too....
Nicole at 7:03 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Love the task of creating a Prezi of poker rules!
Nicole at 7:03 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Love the theme/idea! Thought it was great that you stated you may ask for parental consent as a means to not offend anyone
Stacey at 7:03 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Great way to teach a difficult concept (difficult for me at least).
Nicole at 7:03 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Love how you can find math everywhere!
Nicole at 7:03 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Consider a disclaimer on the homepage even though its in the teacher's guide.
Nicole at 7:02 PM, 11 Dec 2012
LOL! The dog pic
Monica at 7:02 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Great topic!
Rachel S. at 7:02 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Mathematics in Poker! Fun for all!!

Great Job! Let those creative minds go!

Nicole at 7:09 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Great rationale - purpose is clear/compelling
Ian at 7:14 PM, 11 Dec 2012
I like the "more information" links on the conclusion page.
Nicole at 7:14 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Very nice project for the students.
Milka at 7:14 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Limiting links is a good idea.
Nicole at 7:14 PM, 11 Dec 2012
I really like this topic! Great idea!
Willard at 7:14 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Thought directions were written very well for students with special needs.
Stacey at 7:13 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Modeling is a great strategy to start with.
I like the limited number of choices. I work with students with special needs as well and too many choices cause confusion.
Jennifer at 7:15 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Nicole at 7:12 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Good step by step, easy for students to follow and check their progress
Ian at 7:12 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Consider recording audio files on the text you have on each page and posting a link so students could *hear* instructions. Consider Audioboo
Nicole at 7:12 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Great topic for Black History Month!
Nicole at 7:10 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Any final comments on TodaysMeet?
Nicole at 7:15 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Possible downside - might be easy for students to hijack
Ian at 7:17 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Good way to provide feedback while the information is still fresh.
Jennifer at 7:16 PM, 11 Dec 2012
I really like this. It is better to write down your comments as you think of them.
Milka at 7:16 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Good collaborative tool
Willard at 7:16 PM, 11 Dec 2012
TodaysMeet - fast, efficient, good for introverted students
Ian at 7:16 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Great way to give feedback.
Michelle at 7:16 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Great tool and a different way to express opinions.
Lisa at 7:16 PM, 11 Dec 2012
This seems like a simple and easy way to give and receive feedback.
Rachel at 7:15 PM, 11 Dec 2012
Fun to add comments live and interact with classmates.
