365/216 - Chess
It seems we have a new chess champion. I borrowed this set but will have to go buy one for the class.
365/215 - Mobile Learning
We were doing research in class in groups and these two boys asked if they could use the iTouch to do their research on. Who says the teacher is in charge of learning?
