Periscope, Check your work strategies and Talent show act???

Hey friends!

So yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with Periscope. Don't get me wrong, I mostly LOVE it. In a few short months of dabbling with it, it has extensively changed my life. Maybe that sounds a bit dramatic, but I really do feel that way. It seems like in the blink of an eye, I've become friends with people from across the continent, which is something I honestly never thought I would do. I feel like these people have become a daily part of my life. Most of them, which may include you if you've come here from my periscope, I watch on Periscope. Mostly teachers - who have created a social media sensation. We share such a powerful bond. I mostly learn things from them (you), but I've also laughed, cried, danced, sang, and celebrated with them. Like I said, some of them may be you, who are reading this. And if you are, thank you. I appreciate your friendship. I value it.

For those reasons, I love Persicope, undoubtedly. However, I am starting to realize that it is a mega battery drainer! I can't fully enjoy every Periscope I'd like to watch because my phone will inevitably die!!! Is anyone else experiencing this? How have you managed to fix this issue? Please share. I am trying to attach my charger to my hip... but that's just a loss waiting to happen. I know it's going to end up getting lost somewhere, because I know myself well enough yall. #clumsy

Also, if you checked out my Periscope, I talked about "Check your work" strategies. PLEASE share below, because I am VERY curious about this. I would greatly appreciate it.
I really would like to know what kind of strategies you teach your students to check their math work after they have finished. If you make a lesson out of it? Or HOW you go about teaching them to really go over each problem.

And lastly... If you have any suggestions for a talent show act that you've seen or had success with, please share! I'm in search for something FUN and FUNNY :) :) :)

Thanks everyone! Have a great rest of your week!
