Have you tried Second Life yet? Are you afraid to do so? This link with a auto vide on the home page may either entice you to try it or scare the heck out of you. I am revising Second Life for my new role in ISTE. I ceated an avatar about a year ago (I am Maureen Mocha, they give you a list of sur name options and because of my coffee habit, well you get it...). Look me up if you try second life. I have been lurking around on the ISTE island. You should check that out too. There is a lot of free virtual professional development going on there. To participate in Second Life, you will need to download the viewer onto your computer. It is free. Go ahead and give it a try. I dare you :-).

Learning in Hand has some great resources.  This particular one is about podcasting.

Many ideas for the beginning of the year in the library

Post in response to Colby Sharp's rant

Great list by categories. From a T in Australia. Rec'd in session at CC4

As much as we hate labeling books and restricting students, this is an interesting link. Not all of the books are actually in this range.

Nice piece in NASSP by a principal in Oklahoma

Rec by Annette Lamb. Students put themselves in the place of a reporter in order to check facts before they share information.

Includes templates for students to use in creating projects like newspapers, fake facebook pages, magazine covers, bulletin boards, and more in Google products

Agenda from 2017 Treasure Mountain in Phoenix (I thought the one in Columbus was the last one)

Could be used in Hour of Code or as a Breakout Clue

Interesting observations from Nakia Hardy, who has served in several districts. She references past curricula and edreports.

Even if you aren't in NYC, this calendar could give you some ideas for programming and activities, whether online or in person. You might also want to join some of the online ones. Includes book clubs, crafts, tech instruction, and more

Some great points in this post.

Cute depiction of books set in each state (personally, I like All the Bright Places even more than TFIOS)
