Culture is crucial. Teachers want to build it in the classroom. School administrators want to build it in their schools. How do we build relationships with students, set standards, and make school a place where students want to be?

The classroom is a good place to start. This video shares 5 ways to build school culture with your interactive display.

Samsung has a fantastic interactive display called the Samsung Interactive Pro. This is the tool being used in the video, but the same strategies can be used with any interactive display device.

Here are the 5 ways to build school culture with your interactive display:
#1 - Classroom Rules and Norms Brainstorming Session
#2 - Get to Know You Unboxing Video Activity
#3 - Create a Digital Appreciation Board
#4 - Create a Class Banner or Quilt
#5 - Do a Digital "What Do You Remember" Activity

A 5 level writing rubric covering: organization, word choice, conventions, ideas, voice, sentence fluency and presentation.

Un site de France pour l'enseignement des mathématiques, avec des leçons (cours), exercices (avec correction), et exercices répétitifs de calcul mental. Plusieurs fichiers sont disponibles aussi en format PDF.

« Tout élève qui souhaite s'entraîner peut trouver dans ce site des exercices corrigés correspondants à sa classe.
Les niveaux 6e, 5e, 4e et 3e couvrent l'ensemble du programme. Il n'y a ni compétition ni enjeu. Une solution est disponible à tout moment. Ce n'est le plus souvent qu'une solution parmi d'autres.

*Sauf indication contraire, il faut donner la réponse des exercices interactifs, s'il s'agit d'un nombre décimal, avec une virgule. Dans les exercices répétitifs, les nombres sont générés par l'ordinateur, il faut écrire les décimaux avec un point à la place de la virgule.*

Les exercices et les résumés de cours sont signalés de la façon suivante :

-Un résumé du cours : En géométrie, les images mobiles ou les animations flash permettent de visualiser les notions abordées.
-Exercice corrigé : Des exercices pour s'entraîner, avec les corrections disponibles à tout moment. Mais d'abord il faut chercher ...
-Exercice interactif corrigé: On peut répondre directement sur l'ordinateur, mais une feuille de papier et un crayon sont le plus souvent nécessaires pour faire l'exercice entièrement.
-Exercice répétitif : calcul mental : Entraînement au calcul mental sur les techniques basiques à acquérir en mathématiques.

Attention : il faut toujours commencer l'exercice par "recommencer' ou "nouveau calcul" , l'exercice affiché à l'écran n'est qu'un exemple. Il n'est pas à tester ! »
