Here’s a collection of the New Year’s ideas I’ve seen shared to bring to your math classroom this week! 🎉 annieforest.substack.com/p/mathy-ways...

To alt-text gurus: I've had several people ask about whether there are TOOLS out there to make it easier to generate alt-text, esp if time is short and/or they have trouble thinking up good alt-text. Any suggestions? Thanks! I'll add info to publish.obsidian.md/debbieohi/al... #Accessibility

Love this game!!! #ITeachMath #ElemMathVhat
