This blog gives educators 50 different ideas on using Twitter in the classroom. I thought it was extremely interesting, seeing as how students are more and more on twitter, they might be able to relate to an assignment better this way.

I watched this clip of the Beatles performing the play within a play, 'Pyramus and Thisbe' from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in a class and found it not only extremely amusing but also educational. Their interpretation can be seen as a credible imitation of the Mechanicals' performance or simply as entertainment in honor of Shakespeare-either way, it provokes discussion!

shared by Mary O'Brien on 21 Sep 10 - No Cached

Mary O'Brien on 21 Sep 10

This page offers validation for students' partaking in AP level courses in high school for fiscal reasons. What I find interesting is the process that some schools have for putting kids into AP classes-is this fair? It's definitely something to think about, especially since it glosses over other merits to AP level classes, such as critical thinking.

Sarah Hubbard on 21 Sep 10

This website offers a lot of great ideas on non-traditional ways for students to write book reports. The projects are more geared towards grades 6-8, and focus on assessing the students basic knowledge of the text. However, more guidelines could be added to make the projects more challenging for older students.

Yes, I know you've probably used sporcle as a distraction FROM homework, but I'm posting it because I think it can also be a great resource FOR teachers to use with kids to get them to learn in a fun way. The site is filled with quizzes on pretty much every subject possible. I think the sections on geography, literature, and language could be useful. For example, there are timed country and capital quizzes that are great study tools.
