GoogleApps for online grading and lesson planning

a handy site for teachers who are looking for some lesson plan ideas to go along with children's books. The library features picture books, books for early readers, and books for young adults. Each book is linked to a list of activities that could be done either while reading the book or after reading the book. The books themselves are not free (you can buy them online or find them locally) but the listed activities are free for your viewing. Teaching Library is supported through Amazon Affiliate sales so if you purchase a book through their site you will be supporting them.  Applications for Education Teaching Library could be a good resource for teachers struggling to develop a new lesson idea. If you're looking for some new books to add to you classroom, but you're not sure which ones you want, take a look at Teaching Library's suggestions.

Currently there is a crazy question on one of the list-serv, if students use Google Docs... how can you make sure they are doing the typing of their papers. I think one of my middle school teachers had this question back in the 90's and didn't accept student-typed data of any kind. It had to be handwrittien. This is a resource sent in reply..... I say start the work in class. You can always check the history of typing... ~~GB
