Themeefy is a neat tool to create online magazines of content from the web (Google, Wikipedia, Flickr, Facebook and Twitter). A Themeefy magazine is simple to compile and looks quite sophisticated once complete. I like that Themeefy allows you to edit your magazine in any way you want after your content is added as well – so, if you add a website to the magazine and want to get rid of all the irrelevant stuff, it is easy to do so. Once your magazine is prepared, you can share it via email, social network, or url.
The Themeefy homepage has a quick video that will introduce you to the site and how it functions!
ElectNext is for anyone interested in the upcoming U.S. Presidential election and the candidates. You should take the quiz and then see how you compare on all the major issues (Healthcare, Education, Foreign Policy, Abortion, Economy, Taxes, Gay Rights, Energy, National Security, Environment, Immigration, Gun Rights) in relation to all the Presidential candidates. The initial quiz is only a few short questions; however, if you continue to “Improve Your Matches” you will find there is an extensive quiz that will match you with your top 3 candidates. What is REALLY COOL is that through the “See Why” button, it allows you to view your answers in relation to each candidate and get a really good picture about who you should vote for!
Additionally, once you have finished your evaluation and found your Presidential candidates, you can enter your zip code and find the candidates for State Senate and House of Representatives as well.
There is also a great quiz you can take on USA Today’s Candidate Match that has you answer some very thought-provoking questions and then reveals your top candidate.
Now I KNOW is a great website for any business or financial literacy teacher.The website contains interviews with entrepreneurs about their success and the lessons learned along the way to their success. Each video is under three minutes in length and would be a great way to start a discussion in a classroom related to entrepreneurship and being successful.
There is a great little website developed by Harvard Mathematics professor, Oliver Knill, that compiles a collection of clips from various movies and television episodes that include math references. It is called Mathematics in Movies. It does have many concepts depicted in movies and television that may come in handy for those who have chosen to teach math!
