In the Classroom
Mobius is an excellent tool to share with students for reinforcing, practicing, or extending math skills. Share this resource with parents for students to practice at home, or include Mobius as part of a math learning station for individual student practice. Mobius is ideal for advanced students to practice and learn math at their own pace, as well as for struggling students to receive additional practice with math skills. Mobius encourages students to spend at least forty-five minutes weekly completing activities, asks students to record their time spent, and encourages them to continue by creating personalized certificates of completion at Canva for Education, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This deceptively simple-looking site offers an easy way to encourage continuous, non-stop writing. Users set a goal of either words or time and choose start. If you stop typing for too long, all your words vanish, creating pressure to keep moving and preventing over-editing or getting stuck. This exercise serves as a tool to encourage brainstorming, freewriting, overcoming writer's block, and practicing flow state writing.
In the Classroom
Use this tool to help students develop writing fluency so they can focus on ideas rather than grammar and spelling rules. Ghost Writer is also an excellent tool for activating schema when starting a new unit. Ask students to set the timer and write nonstop about what they know about the upcoming unit's content or what they don't know. In science class, use Ghost Writer as a hypothesis brain dump, or use it as part of reading lessons for students to share all they know about characters from a novel you are reading. Extend learning by asking students to take their ideas and develop them further in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
