Users at every skill level can create bite-sized teaching morsels they can share online, again and again, with this delectable app. STUDENTS: Help each other with homework and work together on projects. TEACHERS: Tutor kids while away from school, or record a few tips to send home with them. MENTORS: Tutor youngsters from afar, without buying desktop recording software. KIDS: Share doodles and ideas with friends. Some of the most innovative teachers helped create ScreenChomp with learning and idea-sharing in mind. Here's what some of them had to say: Eric Marcos - Lincoln Elementary Math Teacher "With just an iPad and the ScreenChomp app, everyone can create on-the-go tutorials, mathcasts, or any sort of screencast. It makes screencasting a portable option - no wonky hardware necessary." Randy Micallef - 8th Grade Math Teacher "ScreenChomp will help students review ideas, and it will help me have more consistent interactions with each student. I'll also have a way to re-assess and re-test a student's understanding of specific concepts, and keep a record of those interactions through captures."

Kidblog.org is built by teachers, for teachers, so students can get the most out of the blogging process. Kidblog meets the need for a safe and simple blogging platform suitable for elementary and middle school students. Most importantly, Kidblog allows teachers to monitor and control all publishing activity within the classroom blogging community. If you've tried (perhaps with limited success) other blogging platforms like Blogger, Edublogs, or Wordpress.com, you'll notice the Kidblog difference immediately!

An interactive graphic organizer, Essay Map offers students several ways to structure their writing through the use of an outline. Students fill in the boxes with an introductory statement, a main idea, the supporting details of their piece, and a concluding statement. The end result is a map of their piece that can be printed, saved, or e-mailed.

A simple site for making project checklists for your students' projects. In my opinion, this is an under-utilized aspect of the 4teachers.org website.
