Nov 15, 2018 WIR: Post-It Math, Self Driving Cars, Beer Shortage, The Opioid Crisis & more
Happy Thursday #MCPOPPERS!
I hope you all had a chance to check out the makeover on the homepage and groups - it took some time, but was nice to freshen things up a bit round here!
Although most of the resources posted in discussions here are, by nature, interdisciplinary the next few WIRs will focus on disciplinary themes. This week is STEM, or STEAM if you are extra cool! If you are not a STEM teacher, there is still a lot to check out below. You can also email this resource sampler a STEM teacher in your network that might want help to make their curriculum pop!
It was hard to pick a single highlight this week, but the elementary math teacher who goes Post-It crazy seems like someone we should all embrace!
