Since we're getting started with a few social media platforms this week, here are a few more that are out there.

This was the creative genius behind the beginning of my classroom's flexible seating transformation.

We are adopting a 1-1 initiative next year and my math team and I are looking for an online data base to help us differentiate. This is the best option that we have found and I like how individualized the learning can be!

This daily ranking of the 100 top education blogs is great for finding current top blogs.

My kids love this FREE site - filled with videos for brain breaks and indoor recess - get your kids moving!! Free brain breaks kids love and teachers request.

I use this site with my middle school Chorus students on a nearly-daily basis. While its content is aimed towards K-5, it allows great guided movement on days we need to get the wiggles out, and guided breathing and focus when we need to bring down the stress in the room.

This is my class website! Here you will be able to find a calendar of the assignments as well as resources and other materials that are helpful for my students. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have!

Welcome to my class' website! Here you will be able to find a calendar of the assignments as well as resources and other materials that will be helpful for you this year. Students often use my website to see homework assignments posted as well as a copy of notes from the lessons or answer keys for study guides.

A site that has an infinite amount of content. It really deserves to be explored more than explained. I really find it quite interesting. Nested is my favorite part.

I absolutely love this website! As a middle school English teacher, I constantly explore this website for ideas, lessons, and encouragement.

This book explained why teachers should integrate technology tools into foreing language classrooms.

Teachers should make sure that they understand the goals for including technology in literacy instruction. Second, they need to know how to design instruction to support students in achieving those instructional goals. This blog will address both of these issues.

This article talks about the technology tools teachers could use to support language arts instruction.

This resource talks about the benefits of using e-Book readers that possess built-In dictionaries, ability to highlight text and text-to-speech note taking so that students can better understand what they are reading.

This teacher presents a possible solution for those students who learn at different paces, come with different abilities and are participating in a flipped classroom. She suggests using Book Creator as a way for students to engage in creating books.

"Imagine if kids poured their time and passion into a video game that taught them math concepts while they barely noticed, because it was so enjoyable," Bill Gates said. This article talks about what role games should play in the classroom.
