So after a nice hiatus, I’m back to blogging. Yet the year did not start out on such a great note as this morning I became part of a scary statistic. According to some estimates, 2000 people accidentally put their cell phone through the washing machine every day. I’ve now become one of those lucky few.
Anyway, despite my knuckleheadedness, I still move on. Today I discovered a really cool website, called Quizlet which allows users to create flashcards, and practice those flashcards.
Seeing as my kids largely struggle with division, I took it upon myself to create some division flashcards which I hope to get in the habit of using a bit in class, and hopefully encouraging them to use a bit at home.
We’ll see what happens though.
It is just one of the many signs of advanced old age.
