Today I got the opportunity to work with an app called sphere. I thought it was going to be lame, but it turned out to be really cool! I could definitely see how an elementary or even middle school classroom could use this, but I want to be a math teacher. How can I use this? Well I have a few thoughts: 1. This would be a great way to document growth and change in the classroom. By taking a sphere on the first day of school and the last day of school, it would be fun to make a comparison.
2. In a math classroom it might be cool to find a sphere of a historical math figure's home or study. It could also be interesting to look for certain math concepts, such as parallel lines, triangles, etc. out in nature or somewhere else using a sphere.
In any classroom, I think watching spheres would be a fun way to "get out" of the classroom or take a break from studying.
