This looks like a really cool app to explore. You can pull up a student's work for parent-teacher conferences, assessment, or use as exemplars. How it works: With your smartphone or ipad, you can take a photo and tag it before you upload it and organize.

joe- it looks you CAN add your own audio recording to each piece of student work. i could not find, however, any reference to an ability to upload files. so it looks like the only way to add student work it to take a picture of it.

Looks like a fantastic app! Free app for teachers and students. You can use the iPad for an interactive presentation. Upgrade free to the silver account once you create an account. School account is in the works (I'm sure for a fee). "Webinears" are very informative too.

Very cool Trica - I'll second Mark's "Great Find"

Excellent resource! For over 25 years The Efficacy Institute has been dedicated to the Mission of getting all children to proficiency or higher. Our work is grounded in the constructive belief that intellectual capacity is neither fixed nor given; rather, it can be built - to high levels - through the sustained application of effective effort at challenging tasks.

Another Cathlin find! While we work hard to ensure that we are providing students with the best academic instruction on a daily basis, we can also take time to teach the students in our classrooms to be good citizens who care for and respect each other.

A great resource for character education. Mary Keane brought this to my attention. The site offers practical ideas for classroom use.

Tons of articles and videos for teaching literacy. Many are free, some require a membership to the website.

A global read aloud with the option of 2 books. Connect with schools around the world using social media

Awesome, free website where a new "wonder" is posted each day. Great for younger students

Authors who will skype a visit for free with your class

GoogleLitTrips, a website that creates google "trips" for books where the characters travel or experience different places. Create your own to help students understand the geography of an area

This is so COOL!!! I need to pick your brain about this one. Is it limited to just the books they have on the site?

scot, you can use google earth to make a "lit trip" for any book - or you can use (and edit) ones that people have uploaded to the site. "lit trips" are google earth "tours". i've proposed that gr 4 use a "tour" when they do their hot air balloon project.

smart board lessons, this link goes specifically to a weather key search

We have ActivInspire?? I love Promethean! I don't seem to have AI on mine though..

Trica it a bit hidden on mine - Open your applications - find the promethean folder - then click on the activesowftware inspire folder - in that folder the program is called "inspire" click to open. Then accept the license and click for personal use. Then you should be all set - or a least that is where it was on mine ;)

Classroom Organizer is a web-based program that allows users to maintain and inventory books in their classroom library. I used this with my 7th graders last year and they loved it. I purchased an inexpensive scanner, scanned all of my books into the free database, and showed the kids how to check out and return books. You can set up the books to show the lexile level, AR level, and various other data fields. You set up how long the check out time is, and you receive an email when books are overdue. It is by far, the MOST AMAZING classroom library organizer I've ever used, and it is my number one recommendation for any teacher with a classroom library.

This looks great! How much for a scanner?

It cost me just under $30 for a scanner. I got it online at Amazon.com - http://tinyurl.com/7tf8xcq
