Vocab Minute

Wednesday March 8, 2006
The Princeton Review specializes in SAT preparation, among other things. It has come up with a state of the art way of teaching vocabulary. Vocab Minute uses music to teach four words a day. Researchers claim that music helps us remember. So download your daily vocabulary lesson in podcast form and have at it. Very clever!

This is just one way technology is transforming the way we teach. How do you measure up? Have you moved with the times or are you still using those lecture notes from the '70's? Read Enhancing Your Teaching with Technology for some ideas.
