 * Date & Time:** May 2, 2012, 8:30-3:00


 * Location:** 415 89th Street, Ridge Brooklyn, New York 11209 Room 508 8:30- 3:00


 * Description:** Technology covers not only web resources but new tools that can enhance teaching and learning in classroom. Learn how to create Common Core Aligned hands-on investigations for your students. You can also use these tools to add interest to your Classroom Learning Displays!


 * Overview:** This workshop will show teachers how to use various resources including the Cricut in their classrooms

Geometry 3.G Reason with shapes and their attributes. 1. Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.

>> A digital fabricator (commonly shortened to fabber) is a small, self-contained factory that can make objects described by digital data. Fabbers make three-dimensional, solid objects that can be used as models, as prototypes, or as delivered products. They are widely used by manufacturers for these purposes. Fabbers use a wide range of techniques to make products from a wide range of materials. The quality of these materials and the precision of fabrication can be a major constraint on functional applications. - from Wikipedia >
