Here the apps are organized according to subject and grade level, which I find incredibly helpful. Rather than scrolling through numerous pages of apps, this has them organized, so it is much quicker to find what you are looking for. Also, you can organize your own collection, and some are web based.

I think someone mentioned this in class. The third grade teacher I work with is using Class Dojo and the students love it. I think she has it as a free app on her phone, so as she is walking around the classroom she can give either the whole class, or an individual student some positive reinforcement. She uses just the positive reinforcement buttons, but there are negative behaviors that you can identify as well. You can type in any positive or negative behavior you wish. I think this looks very motivating for students. I would use it on my phone, too, rather than project it because I think it can be very distracting for students to see the avatars and hear the bell ringing when the teacher reinforces a student's behavior.

Below is a wonderful poster I learned about from Makeuseof. This visual features some examples of 'dumb grammar mistakes' that students make. This is a great resource to hang in a room for grades 4-12 students.

Keith Hughes explains how to flip your classroom. He gives a quick tutorial about how to do the video piece. He emphasizes three things: 1. Know your curriculum, 2. Know your audience. 3. When you know your curriculum and your audience, you can focus on how to engage kids so they understand your objective clearly. He suggests making a 10 minute video, and explains how incorporate the videos, font and lecture into the video. The students watch it at home and come to class prepared to discuss the concept. In this way, class time is not used to teach content, but to respond to the concepts the students viewed in the video at home.

This site provides a student rubric for blogging and would be a good guide for students as they begin this exercise.
