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 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.

Social Bookmarking in Education with Diigo - 1 views

shared by Mark McDonough on 22 Aug 12 - No Cached

if you install the Diigo toolbar, or toolbar button, you have the ability to highlight text and pictures in a variety of colors, or add sticky notes to a bookmarked page. With this feature you can annotate web pages with thoughts, ideas or additional information. All these notes are saved for the next time you access the saved bookmark, and anyone else you share the bookmark with, (students or teachers), will also see your annotations. It is a great way to focus attention on a large article.

Your Diigo bookmarks can be public, or private, and there are numerous options for sharing with individuals, groups

...4 more annotations...
With Diigo Educator accounts, the privacy settings, by default, limit communication to that of classmates and teachers only. Lastly, students in the same class are automatically set up as a group, so all saved bookmarks can instantly be shared with peers
...

Cancel
The real bonus of using social bookmarking with your class is the ease that you can work on project based learning tasks.

Cancel
Bookmarks can be organized within group to cover several different projects, and the chance to archive for next year's class is a great time saver for teachers.

This site has many ideas for reaching out to families yet it is clearly aimed at districts with large populations of ELLs. One important thing that applies to school messages to any family of ELLs: encourage parents to continue speaking and reading to their children in their native language.
