Welcome to the Buzz Blog 


Need some ideas for going global?  Check out Skype in the classroom.

If you don't have an activity yet, maybe you could use an Olympic Themed activity to tie into the winter olympics

 




Teachers, need another way to practice basic skills.  Manga High will allow you to target skills and quickly check on student progress.  You can also challenge other classrooms in the US or around the world.  (This may be a good way to est. a relationship with a school on your continent?)  Take a look.
