A current teacher in one of my grad classes told us the other night that if she could give us any advice it would be to not reinvent the wheel. With internet access at our fingertips, there is no reason for us to have to ponder (for long hours) on how we can teach a certain concept. With websites like Teachers Pay Teachers and others similar to it, there is a plethora of great ideas to find and use in your classroom.
In that same class I mentioned earlier, we had to construct a Problem Investigation and solve it with our group members. A couple of the groups came up with their own problems, however the remaining groups turned to the MythBusters site. There are a ton of great ideas on the site for projects you can do with your kiddos, either to scaffold on to what you are learning, or just for educational fun! I'm sure you all have heard of MythBusters, but I thought I would remind you of how great a resource it could be for your classroom!
