In The National Geographic Kids Blog, a group of kids selected by the National Geographic staff share their thoughts and experiences. This is a great blog for kids to follow and be able to read about things that interest them and what other kids think. Teachers can use this as a resource to introduce kids to safe and educational places on the internet that are interesting to them as well. I found this in the "Online Safety" section of Kids.gov, accessed via the publisher companion site of our textbook.

Thanks for the website! It's a great resource for students to use. Im saving it to my Diigo account too. -Lisa

Those who lean to the Right politically probably won't be interested in this article, but it fits the Left's narrative that big business has too much influence on public policy, particularly on education policy ... particularly on educational technology policy.

These resources are great! I use them for reading groups and as centers. Many are only $19.99- The kids love them too!

I like this site. They will give you a free ebook on educational apps too. They have a free service and subscription service. Check it out.

A great post that reminds readers about the transcendence of narrative writing across genres (and across subjects!) The teacher uses historical and science fiction as inspiration for her ELA students' writing projects, but ideas, such as the "What if . . ." digital presentation project she mentions from Larry Ferlazzo could be used in almost any subject. The author's ideas for having students prove their informational research are also very helpful. I loved reading the post, too. Her, "Nobody puts baby in a corner," quote made me laugh out loud.
