I've been looking for the countdown timer. Some of the other tools look helpful, others I'll have to figure out when I have more time.

A recent article about how segregated our schools are today; it presents some fairly stunning information about how divided the classroom is today.

"The biggest impact you'll have as a teachers is the relationship you establish with your student."  Amen, sister.

Good look at education and teachers today.

This whole website has great games for indoor recess or extra practice in the classroom! I really like the layout, too.

Article on teachers using the social media site Pinterest to share ideas.

Interesting take on digital storytelling as a helpful approach for students struggling with traditional literacy.

Article from the NYTimes about using globes. Ties in nicely to conversations in McEachron's Social Studies class!

Interesting article on the importance of character traits in student success.

Such a good book we read in E03 Reading class today! 

If this is digital story telling, I have a new enthusiasm for it.

I can believe it, espeically since the schools often only give you $100 or so to spend on things for the whole year. I know my CT used about 3/4 of that buying construction paper alone.

that's crazy! amazing how congress has no problem scraping up a few extra billion dollars for a few new fighter aircraft, but can't seem to manage to help fund public education....

This article is very interesting and provides excellent examples of how and why technology can be beneficial for student learning.  I tried to highlight several passages, but nothing seemed to highlight.  Not sure if that is because this is a PDF...

I've had trouble with PDFs, too...I think it's a Diigo weakness.
