Technology has entered the classroom and it can be overwhelming for the teacher who is already using "every single" moment of his or her day to the maximum. So when is there time for technology and how can you implement it?

That is where TechnoSpud comes in. Technospud, provided by Jennifer Wagner, provides ways of seamlessly bringing technology into your classroom working within your existing curriculum. She can show you how technology can move from a "stand alone" tool, to an "always used" tool, with you and your students.technospud
One of the easiest ways to bring technology into your classroom is to join an online project. Technospud.com is proud to sponsor several Online Projects each year. Whether it is stacking oreos, rolling eggs, or sorting colors of frootloops, your students are learning!!! And Jennifer can provide many ideas on how to make it fun and leave your kids eager to learn more!!
one activity that she has on her website, is stacking oreos, on top of each other. It is a math activty dealing with estimation. the students were not allowed to move the cookie once they placed it and took their hand off it. Then the challenge was to get other students around the worlf to see how many they could stack.
I think this activity is great because it includes both technology and math1

Hey --
thanks for the link --
and I am glad you enjoyed the project idea. Actually, I have been using the oreo cookie in online projects since 1999.
"That's the way the cookie tumbles" (the project you mention) has been repeated twice now -- we have so much fun with it.
We have also compared regular stuf with double stuf, how does someone eat an oreo, and we have measured using both regular and mini oreos.
This next year -- we are going to create our own oreo filling using food coloring -- and then create actual graphs with the oreo cookies based on the filing color! (We will limit the color options to the colors of the rainbow) but won't it bu fun for kids to create their own filing??
Grins, I ramble -- sorry.
And thanks again for mentioning my site.
