If you're looking to get started in the cryptocurrency world, one of the first things you'll need to do is create a Binance account. Binance is one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, so it's a good idea to have an account there. Creating a Binance account is relatively simple and only requires a few pieces of information from you. However, before you can start trading on Binance, you'll need to verify your account. This process can take a little bit of time, but it's worth it to make sure your account is secure. Once your account is verified, you'll be able to deposit money into it and start trading cryptocurrencies. If you're new to the world of crypto, Binance is a great place to start. With its large selection of coins and easy-to-use interface, it's perfect for beginner investors.

When Kristine Riley looks back on how she used to teach her students, she sees order and control. Her third, fourth and fifth grade gifted-and-talented classes had been structured and orderly, and students sat in designated seats. She had assigned the same tasks to every student and had hoped for roughly the same answers from all of them.

Helpful tips for students on how to take notes in a google doc.

The basic functions of Google Drive and Google Classroom are only the starting point for the innovative and creative uses one can use in the classroom. Alice Keeler, my co-author in our upcoming book Ditch That Homework , proves that again and again. Alice is one of the only people I know personally who codes for fun.

Camtasia gives you the tools you need to record on-screen activity, edit and enhance your content, and share in high-quality to viewers anywhere.

I purchased Camtasia a few years ago and find to be invaluable. It is quite intuitive as long as you aren't afraid to play a bit and figure out the transitions, etc. I recommend practicing some of the zooming and highlighting techniques on a test video so you aren't trying to learn it all right when you need to create a video for class.

Mine came in the mail yesterday. Yay!

As I want to teach in Japan, this is the blog I will be subscribing too. Very interesting topics on here.

I ran across Jesse on Twitter, and now follow his posts on his website/blog. He shares great strategies for building online communities and has a fresh perspective on grading- especially in the online world. While he works at a collegiate level, I find the research and practice to still be relevant and applicable to high school teaching.

I use this app to leave multi-media feedback on some of my student's assignments. This Google app records your voice and copies a URL linked to your voice recording. You can then past it anywhere, link it to the URL (be sure to delete "(voice note)" at the end of the URL when linking. Then the student can just click on the URL and hear the feedback you leave for them.

This is a free website that you use to help organize your resources for whatever you might need it for such as online content for courses, lessons, professional development, hobbies, interests, and so on. "You can view links like pages in a book instead of a URL. Combine uploaded PDFs and Word docs with links in one binder. Go paperless one LiveBinder at a time."

This is a pretty well done Coursera course on blended learning from folks at the Christensen institute. It can be started at any time.

I would love to take this after I am finished this semester! I have take a class through coursera on copyright for educators and it was great!

This is a cloud based music software that I use in my music classroom. Students can create their own music and share it with others. There is a collaboration feature that allows students and teachers to work together on a song. One of my favorite tools is the podcasting feature. My students instead of written summative tests create a series of podcast episodes where they speak about what they have learned, and they can collaborate together and even have guests on their episodes. This podcasting feature is great for students who struggle with writing and are better with speaking.
