TIE Online Class: Web Lit for Educators

One of my FAVs for a tech resource from Maryland. This Wiki is a place for MHMS teachers to share information & professional development products that will help the day-to-day life for the teachers in our middle school and other teacher librarians. There's no need to join this wiki if you want to link to it or snag some pages with linkbacks & attribution - we're all Creative Commons Share Alike!

Can't wait to try this with the kids.

Good information for starting a Wiki

This is a great idea for a project combining writing and Wiki.

This site highlights reading reviews categorized by author, new books, coming soon books, series books and books into movies.  This is a terrific resource for kids who need a little help in choosing a new book or genre.  I'll be using this with my MS kids! I also like that it has podcasts of books as well!

I absolutely love Bill Nye. He has great information not only for elementary students, but more advanced science for older kids as well.

using whiteboards in your classroom

"Webster's defines kaffeeklatsch as "an informal gathering to drink coffee and chat." I feel it is a perfect analogy for a blog! (And you are welcome even if you don't drink coffee!) I will be posting thoughts, discoveries, and ideas here as I discover them, primarily on educational technology topics, and I invite you to do the same! "

Short reviews of new technologies!

This a blog by Kathy Schrock.  It has some great insight on the education world today.

Book Blog for kids who like to READ! "I'll be writing about books I've read, and inviting you to make comments. This is a place for you to share your thoughts about books with me and with other kids. Remember, readers are leaders! Love, Mrs. Horowitz"
