Boston Public Goes for Gizmos

Last week ExploreLearning visited with our friends in the Boston Public Schools to demonstrate successful teaching strategies for integrating Gizmos with Boston's SELECT Math website.  SELECT Math (Supporting Engaged Learning by Enhancing Curriculum with Technology) is part of an ongoing project funded partially by a state No Child Left Behind grant. 

The Boston Public Schools Office of Instructional Technology and the secondary math department also work with the Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) to align technology to the math curriculum and to provide professional development to teachers.  To date Boston has created over 200 alignments to district math lessons; many of the lessons include ExploreLearning Gizmos. 

ExploreLearning looks forward to working with Boston Public Schools and EDC in the coming year.
