Dan Meyer ~ A New Perspective in Teaching (Math)

If you haven't heard of Dan Meyer, he has interesting perspectives on teaching math and teaching in general. Watch his Ted Talk to learn more about him and his ideas....

IF that isn't cool enough, he also has a website called 101 Math Questions, which is a website that shares images and videos as prompts for math questions.  Question can be entered into the site in a 140 character, Twitter style.  Higher level thinking stuff!    Here is a direct link to the top 10 questions from this site.  Finally, here is a blog post from Dan Meyer, which will explain the premise behind this website even better than I can.  Check it out and let me know what you think!
