New materials for Interactive White Boards...

Carson-Dellosa and Scholars Choice have recently release some new resources for teachers with interactive white boards.

Learning Spot Lessons are, according to the publisher, an innovative and interactive tool that will save teachers hours of classroom prep time.  The resources allow the user to search by grade or by subject, and to download lessons withing seconds.

Currently only resources for K-2 are available, although they promise 3-5 is coming soon.  There is no word on 6 and beyond.

I have not yet been able to sample this product.  I registered for my free trial, received a confirmation email, yet was still unable to access.  Hopefully this glitch will be fixed soon.

If anyone has tried them, please post your thoughts here.

Thanks,
Devin

Quality of Education?

 Many nations are scrutinizing the quality of their education systems.
Many like to compare their students test scores to the scores of students from other nations.
But these "yardstick" used to measure vary greatly from one country to the next...
