Share your great ideas here Region 5 I have a number (like 200 or so) Promethean Board flipcharts for Prentice Hall Literature series, World History, and Vocabulary by Sadlier/Oxford. If anyone is looking for some extra activities that align with our studies.

1/15/14 I just read the "best practices" page, and I'm not sure I agree with the definition, i.e. "noisy". I know I am old, but I can't learn well when it is noisy. There are times during collaborative learning activities when noise is appropriate, within reason, but to think that all classes are learning with chaotic noise is unrealistic. Especially with middle schoolers, who are not always motivated to learn or are not even curious enough to be inquisitive, expecting them to control their interactions to the learning sequence is naive at best. Even in College, many times the students are talking about many subjects not related to what they are supposed to be learning, so how can we expect adolescents to stay on task.
