This seems like a great resource to use in the classroom or even for your personal use. You are able to create digital stories with narration- you scan in your own photos. I haven't used it but will keep you posted.

Awesome website! This site extremely vast in educational topics and links for assistance. The teacher tool kit link is priceless. You are able to generate worksheets, create word bingo activities (great for vocabulary retention) and there are lesson plans (i.e. sentence starters). My favorite link is the alternative assessment; here, you can find ideas and rubrics for alternative assessments in your classroom.

Oh, Twitter. You're so useful for teachers. You connect educators so that they can share tools, tips and tricks, offer insight, and support one another. You bring your sexy social media-ness into the classroom to keep kids interested in what they're learning when they think they're actually (sort of) having fun instead.
