Mr. Mansour’s Classroom Blog

This is a work in progress. To view the big version – click here. Students will begin their Glogs today.

Here is a sample podcast from myself and Miss Walsh on the upcoming weather in Denver. The 6th graders are working on a podcast of their own this week. We should have them posted by sometime next week.

Use the maps in this presentation, as well as the map of the red/blue states that you’ve already completed to help you with your assignment question: Why do you think certain regions of the country vote the way they do? (ex. Northeast typically votes Democrat, Midwest typically votes Republican)

It can normally be found by going to mrmansour.com and clicking on educational websites.  That page is currently under construction.

I’m currently working on redoing my website (mrmansour.com). The new site will be easier for me to modify and work with. Right now I’m just working on the main pages, but will be updating the movie page and resource pages soon. Here’s a mini-preview of the new home page. I should have it up and running by later this week.

The summer is nearly over and this blog will be revving back up again with student created content, reviews, and general information for all things science, math, and tech related.  I noticed that sketchcast is apparently down for the moment.  Hopefully that will get working again as it is one of my favorite sites for math.  If you’re looking for some friendly reading, click over to my tech blog - Realizing Your Personal Legend.  I’ve been a bit busy, but have added some fun updates this summer.  

Also, if you’re a new teacher or just getting into using technology in the classroom, I created this site.  It tells all about the tools needed for a tech infused classroom and gives some tips on getting started.

My summer school class is working on a project with wiimote whiteboards. Check us out here.

Here are some pictures from summer school.
