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.

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.

Shelley Moore from Richmond School District is currently working with Bulkley Valley teachers on class profiles and co-teaching. She's a strong advocate of UDL and inclusion.

If your district subscribes to the ERAC package in BC, you can read and in some cases download these popular magazines online for free. This is a great index! Just click on the thumbnail to open the magazine collection.

If you log in you can create and save timelines in World Book Student Online. Just spotted this on the new ERAC Commons. Who knew?

Here's a set of very simple one-page Kurzweil Tutorials with matching videos that I created for Middle School Students. The info-tech teacher wanted something to use for introducing just one feature a day but feel free to mix and match for longer training or workshops.
