" What amazed me most about Classtools.net was not the valuable tools provided, but the ability for teachers to easily customize these tools and use them in any subject area. If that is not enough, how about the ability to embed your newly made instructional resource on your own classroom website, wiki, or blog? Any educator will also like the fact that students have no need to log in or sign up for an account… and neither do teachers! Need tutorials… they are provided! Do samples help you understand better… you will find plenty! Is budget a problem… then free should be affordable! Classtools.net is the work of educator, Russel Tarr, Head of History at the International School of Toulouse, France. Upon entering the site, educators will see the listing of tools. Clicking on a tool allows teachers to individualize that specific tool for their own classroom needs. Teachers then have the option of copying a generated link to place on their own web site or of copying a generated code to embed as a tool (widget) on their classroom site. Also, on the front page, are some video links that will provide further information. Two videos that provide excellent information are the 1 Minute Overview and How to Create Games. The Listing Of Over 20 Digital Tools For Your Classroom The tools that you can even customize are included below. Along with this tool listing you will find descriptions of each tool, an overview of and samples of specific tools (if provided), and any related video (if provided). * Arcade Game Generator - Allows teachers to create concept builders, practice exercises, and reviews. Best of all, one set up feeds into five different game possibilities at the same time The teacher can choose which game, or allow students a choice.

"20 time - Your own time for learning August 14, 2011 in learning, lesson ideas, thoughts"

"How can a company implement a "20% time" program like Google's?"

"Are 20% projects profitable? Email Print By Craig Buckler | November 14, 2012 | Business | General business | Marketing | Revenue 7 Apple has launched an internal initiative named "Blue Sky" which allows a number of employees to work on personal projects. Blue Sky appears similar to Google's 20% time where engineers spend one day per week working on systems which aren't related to their job. Employees are encouraged to develop something new or fix something which is broken. The policy led to the introduction of GMail and Maps - two of Google's most successful offerings."

"Mix Up the Workweek by Setting Your Own "20-Percent Time""

"Apple fires up its version of Google's '20% time', giving some employees 2 weeks for special projects"

"Atmosphere of Innovation: What's Your 20% Project? September 27, 2012 - by Adam Renfro You don't want to be the one who can't breathe in this atmosphere of innovation. I've had the great opportunity to work with some impressive leaders who always encouraged innovation and creativity. One went on to lead the 18th Airborne Corp, another became the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, another went straight from principal to superintendent, and others went on to start, resurrect, and transform state-level virtual schools. I'm lucky indeed."
