For your weekly spelling test use simple 1-10 or 1-20 numbered form (with a name question too of course) and ask the children to type in their answers as you read out the list of words. Once these are submitted apply formula to judge if they are correct or not and it becomes self marking.

The Literacy Shed is home to a wealth of visual resources that I have collected over my 10 year career as a primary school teacher.

Some great widgets here for student and classblogs. I could see Buzzbite being really useful in a chance and data lesson whilst Polldaddy could be used to collect some raw data for an opinion piece-persuasive writing
The Diigo app for android for some reason doesn't let you share links to a specific group. But you can share to a particular list.
