      A few of the students I have taught and now teach, have experienced traumatic brain injury. Watching this story reminded me of the stories they have shared or their parents have shared with me. It is amazing how a person can recover, what is recovered, and how it affects learning and attitude. This is what grounds me as a teacher. I don't know what trauma my students have endured before they met me, at the high school level. And how do I help them prepare for the future?

      These have uses as we think about the 21st Century learners. Right away it makes me think of financial literacy.

    This site has quick videos (around three minutes or less) that explain things in very simple terms. They use paper cut outs as they explain about technology, money, etc. I know that Barb has used these in our class. I didn't realize there were so many. When I looked at some of them, I thought about the 21st Century learner and how teachers might use these videos with students to help them learn about finances. They can be used personally for free or professionally for a fee. Teachers would have to be careful not to infringe on copyright issues, but this would be a nice way to introduce many concepts to students.

    I love the Common Craft products, too! Every time I watch one of the videos, I'm amazed at the clarity of the explanation! They are able to take very complex tools, and make them seem simple. I think one of the best things about this is that they provide a "conceptual" look at the tool, rather than simply a "how to use it" video. For me, I often find myself experimenting with how to use a tool, before I really even understand conceptually what the tool is and what it can do! (A clear example of the many times when I don't know what I don't know!) This Common Craft site is one that I will bookmark, and return to often.

    Poetry creation tool that allows anyone to fill in the blanks and produce a poem in a variety of different forms. This reminds me of the MadLib format that kids love and I would use it with elementary students as we study different forms of poetry.

    It would be wrong of me if I did not include a history website.  This site provides up to 200 videos about the American Experience.  You can view the videos by time periods and there are lesson plans that can accompany the videos.  This is a great way to supplement learning and make it come to life.

    Read the highlighted sections of this report. Research is finding the connection between neuroscience and education that can benefit student learning. THis research suggests students with dyslexia who utilize their right brain tendencies (which suggests to me the creative side of the brain) can make improvements in comprehension. I would like to read more studies on this effect!

    I am using this resource to help me implement a new 90 minute reading block in my classroom this year. It gives resources for use with parents as well as things to use in your classroom. There are printable schedules and activities for use in planning and teaching reading.

      This site is a great resource for teachers and students. It is easy to navigate and new concepts are always linked to review as you go along. It has been great for differentiating in the classroom.

    Helping you use the internet effectively. Tutorials, assessments, learning and practice assignments for k-12 covering many curriculum areas using the internet. This site has helped me in differentiating my instruction to the many ability levels in my class. Students can start at the very beginning or start with a more advanced assignment. A lot like Atomic Learning, it uses a show, tell, and try it method of instruction along with links to go back and review a concept if you forget.

    I'd heard of this tool but didn't know much about it. I registered for a free account and have been able to explore. There are three main tabs: Your Prezis, Learn, and Explore. I was able to look at many examples of Prezis under the Explore tab, which gave me an idea of how I might use this tool in my current work. It looks like a good alternative to PPT.

  • “That’s the most exciting part for me, seeing kids excited about reading,” says Hamilton, who launched her program in November 2010 after learning about librarian Kathy Parker’s Kindle project at Seneca (IL) Grade School. “If we can spark or enhance that existing passion, that’s really what this is all about. It gives us another way to fuel the love of reading, while creating another way to learn and have fun. And that’s well worth the investment.”

      This is an interesting way to look at e-readers. We as librarians should always be looking for ways to encourage reading. The question becomes how difficult it might be to fund such a project. Several of my students have e-readers, but since they are all different it is hard to buy books that fit all formats. This is definitely a trend teacher librarians need to keep an eye on.

    This article discusses school libraries who are getting grants or finding other ways of purchasing e-readers.

    I like to use photos with various guidance and counseling lessons. This site has some great animal pictures. I had a subscription for the magazine at one time and like it. The benefit for me now is the photos are easily accessible and I can choose which ones would work best at a particular time.
