The Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) program is a worldwide hands-on, primary and secondary school-based science and education program.

PBS Kids. Games for use on iboards. Since they're from PBS, most of the games have a tie-in to PBS programs.

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.

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
