    3. Research shows Active learning creates classroom excitement. to be actively involved, students must engage in such higher-order thinking tasks as analysis, synthesis and evaluation. Strategies promoting active learning involve students in doing things and thinking about what they are doing. -Charles C. Bonwell and James A. Eison (Bonwell, 1991)

    4. An interactive class promotes learning. The interactive process was designed to increase the students attentiveness, aid in individual knowledge discovery and increase retention of key learning points. -Harold M. Horowitz, Ph.D.

    5. Qwizdom What is it? Qwizdom is a student response system composed of: 2-way infrared remotes A receiver A computer with a projector Software supporting curriculum

    13. Curriculum Connections Health & Physical Education Science Social Studies Language Arts Math Primary Math Concepts (grades K-3) number sense, measurement, addition/subtraction, geometry and patterning, graphing, time and money, fractions, multiplication and division Intermediate Math Concepts (grades 4 and up)
