Welcome to Wonderopolis®, a place where natural curiosity and imagination lead to exploration and discovery in learners of all ages. Brought to life by the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL), our Wonders of the Day® will help you find learning moments in everyday life-ones that fit in with dinner preparations, carpool responsibilities, a stolen moment between breakfast and the bus, or within school curriculum and education programs. Wonder is for everyone. It can happen anywhere and at anytime. Connecting the learning we do in our schools, our homes, and our communities, Wonderopolis walks the line between formal and informal education. Each day, we pose an intriguing question and explore it in a variety of ways. Our approach both informs and encourages new questions, sparking new paths of wonder and discovery in family and classroom settings. - See more at: http://wonderopolis.org/about/#sthash.X4AZFEHQ.dpuf

"Practice: Through Problem Solving. The question is just the beginning. Every problem in the TenMarks library is developed with the intent to engage the student's problem-solving skills. With a continually growing bank of questions, students are assured access to a wide variety of problems to practice and perfect their skills and build a strong foundation."

Great resources for teaching poetry.

"When books have no boundaries, classrooms have no walls. Subtext makes it easy to interact with your students right in the pages of digital books-you can answer questions, link to websites, create custom quizzes and more. Equally as important, your students can exchange their own ideas and talk about books whenever and wherever they're reading."

Lino is a free sticky & canvas service that requires nothing but a Web browser. I imagine students using this to post sticky notes with questions, comment on what they've learned, respond to a specific prompt, or add words for word sorts.

Quick and easy tool to assess students. Virtually raise your hand even. Rate your confidence answering a question.
