Review of online (and downloadable) award-winning interactive tutorial for electrical circuits from Teachers Love SMARTBoards.

Fun way to create news stories that look like the real thing. Can be downloaded.

I made two new handouts on how to type the French special symbols on a Win7 laptop. One method uses the regular keyboard and the other involves installing the French keyboard as an option and using the onscreen keyboard to type the French symbols as needed.

Involves uninstalling newest version of Adobe and installing an earlier version.

Web-based program for developing comic strips. What I love is all the practical activities posted for using this digital story-telling tool.

This is a pretty cool hack. Just mirror your iPad to your SMARTBoard and then turn on the iPad camera. Voila, instant document camera with a lot more features than a regular document camera. Watch the video for a great science idea.

Set of free graphic organizer templates...very creative looking but "freeform" so you can adapt them to your own uses.

New online book by CAST on UDL. Requires creating an account to log in.

This is a great reading app. It can import text in many formats ( great with Dropbox) and even read PPT and Keynote presentations. You can change the size of text. Hold on a word to see its definition (doesn't read the definition). Hold on a word then select text to create highlights, bookmarks, and notes. These appear in a separate list which, when accessed, takes you back to the original spot in the text and begins reading from that point. Great voices. This is one of the better reading apps I've found...just wish the definitions would read and the highlighted text would actually highlight instead of ending up in a different location. $9.99

At this ISTE sponsored site, teachers upload reviews of apps they are finding useful.

Free app from CanAssist lets you add photos, video, and voice to create reminders and/or schedules, lists.

Fantastic video by Tod Rose at Harvard describing how designing for average designs for no one. Uses an example from the Air Force and applies it to education.

The Choice Maker Kit was used very successfully in the Innovations Grant Project in Prince Rupert.

Tool for creating, managing and sharing app lists on particular themes.

This kit with ideas for tech projects to support science themes is being offered free...just enter your name and email for the link...probably involves spam later but the resource looks good.

Helpful list of teaching/learning strategies from government website
