This is resource my school has recently been suggesting with the new changes to more computerized testing. Great tool to help students/adults learn how to type.

On topic for this week - hardware! This blog post helps to explain the different types of laptop storage drives. I enjoyed the video which shows the different hardware parts.
Pinterst is a great social media site for teachers to use to find diy (do it yourself) teacher materials, classroom management techniques and various other great ideas to use in your classroom for your students. I would highly reccommend this social media site because it is very easy to save the ideas that you find interesting and to go back and revisit those ideas later on at any time.
Liz Kolb converted, from being one of those teachers who “didn't see value of cell phones on campus” to devising ways to use cell phones as learning tools
I think the key in using cell phones in the classroom is to teach the students that their phones can be used as educational tools to benefit the learning process.
this type of technology integration will better prepare students for the 21st century workforce, where jobs are performed on mobile devices, such as cell phones
Truly, cell phones are rampant in the workplace, so we need to dedicate the time and effort to show our students the proper way to use this amazing tool.
we can teach kids to use their cell phones as a way to learn about, document, and organize their world in preparation for life in the 21st century.
Great idea! I just read an article about polling and thought of this type of application. Students might interact more if they were not so afraid of public failure. This could gie them the anonymity they are seeking!
This site automatically converts text from one language to another language. This site is easy for the student to identify all the languages by just typing the text to be converted into another language. A student can write and paste up to 1800 in the text box. This is very useful to use to learn a foreign language in classroom.
That ability—created by manipulations of virtual reality—is one of many virtual-teaching applications being developed and tested by the Stanford University cognitive psychologist.
Car travel is getting more dangerous and expensive, and university classrooms are often crowded and uncomfortable," he says. "Yet because video conferencing and other types of media fall far short of face-to-face interaction, we still burden ourselves with physical commutes to classrooms."
n a range of studies, Bailenson's team is showing that manipulating virtual versions of the teacher and classroom environment can help students pay attention and perform better. In related research, changing the form of avatars—virtual versions of the self—can motivate people to exercise, and even teach them dance steps and tai chi poses.
Meanwhile, Bailenson is also applying research showing the persuasive power of direct-eye gaze to teaching in the virtual classroom. Virtual professors blessed by Bailenson with "augmented gaze"—the technology-aided ability to look each student in the eye for much of a lecture—can improve students' attention and keep them alert, he is finding.

I was looking for 5 Senses Activities on Education World and came across this page. You can also tell this was my first time using diigo and that I'm half asleep, because I completely messed up where to type my comment. Sorry for the confusion.
This is an awesome website with short (and free!) videos to help teach all types of math from 1st - college and some higher level sciences. It's great for those days when the kids don't want to listen to your voice anymore.
A place for teachers to visit to find lessons connected to comprehension skills such as author's purpose, compare and contrast, and prediction. You can search by grade level and even alignment to the Common Core Standards. If you are a K-6 teacher that enjoys teaching with picturebooks, then this is worth checking out!
Great website that has thousands of passages for your students. You can seach by lexlie level, by skill/strategy, or by grade. I use these all the time in the classroom to review skills I've already taught. Common Core aligned, teacher & principal endorsed.
The website has reading passages that are based on lexile levels, skills, and type of passage. You'll love this research-based reading comprehension curriculum. Check out ReadWorks.org!
