Chart Creating

I have compared two great sites for creating charts for classroom use or teacher collaboration use. The first site is called "Hohli" and it is a simple to use chart creating website that is clean as in not any extra advertisements that might distract students. This is so simple to use just pick the kind of graph you will need and the size then fill in the blanks on the title,data,and grid point information. There could be an easier print option on the site but still all you have to do is save the image to your computer and then print it at any time. The other site I reviewed is "Cacoo" this is a neat way to crate, share, and collaborate with others about charts. Creating a chart here is as easy as click, drag, and drop. This is nice because you can save and work on charts from anywhere and multiple users can view and edit at the same time you are viewing the chart. Love the extra benefit of collaboration chart creating. Sorry but I could not capture an image of either of these sites but I have attached a link to their titles above.

Measurement Smart Board lesson. This is a Smart exchange lesson that will be useful with a third and fourth grade class. This lesson covers many topics of measurements such as history of measurement, customary and metric measurement systems, and converting from one unit of measurement to another.
Probability from Smart Exchange This is a neat smart board lesson to be used an introduction to the topic of probability. I like this the visuals are an added tool in helping students learn this math.
This is a cute Saint Patrick's day Classroom attendance. Students can move their pot of gold down under the rainbow when they come to class in the morning.
