Teaching, Technology, and Learning

I was at the potluck for my first grader last week and there was some time where the kids were milling around doing whatever they wanted. Suddenly, one of them shouted "Let's do math problems!" Another yelled "Yeah! Math!" Four boys ran over to the whiteboard and began writing down apparently random addition and subtraction problems and solving them. The impromptu math session ended about a minute later when the teacher summoned them for instructions on a different activity.

How awesome is that? I hope the enthusiasm for math keeps up.
