I found this awesome Zelda Tri-Force charm, and then it got sold out. So I’ll show it to you after the jump so you don’t instantly fall in love. This Lon-Lon charm however, is very cute. It wouldn’t be such a bad thing to have some around your neck when you’re in need of energy, no? If you want to purchase the cute milk bottle, you can buy if from [tiffanybell] for a mere $3.50. Now read on to see the other kick ass, but sadly already sold charm.

Zelda=Math?

Oh video games, they sure are progressing, aren’t they? I shall admit now that I am not a hardcore gamer, I am a casual gamer. I dabble in the medium. I should also admit though that I am queen of rhythm games (not because I’m perfect in them- I’m not- but because I like the title) and I was completely ecstatic when I learned that some schools were implementing DDR into their PE courses. Oh, I had no troubles in PE as I was in lust with volleyball and other sports, but had DDR been in my schooling I would’ve rocked harder. [note: I was straight A's so I already rocked] Anyway, I’ve been meaning to post about this since the first week of school, but clearly it wasn’t until this week that I finally got around to sharing the news.

I work at a public HS in Downtown New York, I used to attend this school myself, and this is one of those alternative high schools. They’re constantly exploring new ways of teaching and motivating students in order to prepare them for the “real world”. I should add that I loved my educational experience here and am glad that the school continues to excel. Well, as I was walking through the “senior hallway” I noticed that Link was on a bulletin board, the teacher posted the following:

Math Lesson Link

I know its a low-res picture, but I only had my Helio and bad lighting available. If I was ever going to share, then the tools I had at hand had to make do. Though I’m not a fan of Zelda, except for the GBA version I had, a lot of my students are and I’m glad she’s taking this into consideration when she plans her curriculum. Do you guys have any suggestions to other lessons? Maybe we’ll be measuring distance with Halo 3 next? Hah!
