= Numberless Protractors = Print on overhead transparency sheets. Count up in 10° increments, and then estimate the last part. Far less confusing than a regular protractor. Idea originally from Victorian Education Department's RIME materials.

=Video Clips from YouTube=

Many educational jurisdictions block YouTube. Teachers have to play a 'filtering role' to identify and extract content useful for kids' learning.
As a //workshop device,// video clips are a great way to inject humour into a session you might be running with colleagues. What I have found useful is to use web-based tools like Zamzar (www.zamzar.com/url) to download QuickTime versions of content found on YouTube. It removes the latency in a teaching context when wanting to use the resource, by having the file reside on your hard drive.

Students' mobile phones and iPods represent a powerful medium to engage learners in school-related content. It is very easy to use Zamzar to convert YouTube content to a form for these devices. The bigger challenge is to convince colleagues that they have a place that is central to student learning!
