For $258 we could get 21 issues of National Geographic Explorer for the ipad (for each of our 20 ipads in the smith cart) - with 7 K-1 issues, 7 2-3 issues and 7 4-6 issues (also can be used for higher readers in 2-3). Much more cost effective then ordering paper copies, and a great way to make digital literature available in all K-5 classrooms. App is very interactive and connections to grade level science content occur often. http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngexplorer/pioneer/

Looks good, kids would really love it. I would be willing to help pay the costs with some of my budget. Could use the content to address the ELA common core science standards.

I love the way NG differentiates for reading levels!

Information for BrainPOP subscription at Lincoln School. Comment section at bottom of page for teachers to share their comments on using BrainPOP with their students.

have any lincoln school teachers used the school's subscription to brainpop yet? if so, could you leave a comment about what you used, how you used it, outcomes, etc.?

I've used it as a whole class preview- review in science so far. Videos about the weather.

HUGE resource for iboard lessons, downloads, etc.

I've been a member of Promethean Planet for a couple of years and I love it. There is always someone available to answer questions, and teachers from all over the world share ideas and resources. Highly recommend

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

This looks like a great app to record 1:1 conferences with students for reading, writing, math, etc. The lite version only allows you to keep records for 10 students, the full version costs 14.99. 3rd grade made a form to use last year on googledocs, but this seems a bit easier.
