great list! i learned a couple new tricks, e.g. enter "set timer for ..." and you've got an instant timer. many other good ones.

Create rich images with music, video, sound, text and more. Share and discover deeper stories through images. Kinda like a simpler, cleaner Glogster. Add media to a background image.

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.

Take a picture with our app, and it's online in seconds Three Ring is a website that allows you to securely upload photos of student work. With Three Ring, you can sort by class, student, or custom tag to easily find the artifact you're looking for.

good, quick overview of how a 3rd grade teacher uses blogging. includes specific examples.

Has anyone seen this? Interesting, leveled books using F+P, DRA etc, running records, teacher has the ability to assign books to the class and manage some data. They also have books available for the Ipad. Is it something we should look in to?

I used this for a week during Teacher Appreciation when it was free. It's pretty cool. So many levelled books

I used it in Newton with students on IEPS for reading....I found it particularly helpful for fluency as it models the reading for kids. The books are also pretty high interest as far as online readers go. The price is also not awful considering what other like programs go for.

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.

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
