An interesting site which discusses illustrating the Bible along with providing links to sites which may provide some good Biblical graphics which might, depending on the copyright permissions of course, be useful for pastors, teachers, churches and church schools. (Check out the 2008 interview with one of my favorite modern Bible illustrators, Annie Vallotton.)

Great interactive map that links to videos. Great for geography or science.

URL Shortener with a twist.  Create a promo page that displays first when a shortened link is clicked.

An online course on mobile ministry opportunities.  Freely accessible links to helpful course resources including PowerPoints (Week 1).

9/1/17 - A new ebook from Church.mag. Shopping page includes free links to PPT and audio of a church presentation. Save 20% with code "levelup" "Unlike most books on social media which focus on building a following or making money, this guide focus on the purpose, proper use and the possibility of redemptive use of social media. It's a guide for personal use but also for educating a congregation and small group."

Called a "personal internet desktop", Symbaloo is a way to graphically show your bookmarks. Del.icio.us bookmarks can be linked with this service - I see a lot of good uses, especially for lower grades if this were set as the home page of an Internet browser.

One caution with this link. One of the apps mentioned "Four Spiritual Laws" does not reflect our theology, and can't be recommended as a tool to share our faith. Perhaps this could serve as an encouragement to develop an app that does share our faith and accurately reflects our theology.

Thanks for the review and caution. I tagged this quick so I wouldn't lose it but hadn't looked at the recommendations in detail. Always good to exercise discernment.

Wallwisher is a virtual wall to which one can add things. We will be using this link to post our thoughts and predictions on what will happen in the story "The One and Only Ivan," which we are reading for the Global Read Aloud. (It's blank right now (Friday) but we will be using it on Monday in class.) The site is in beta, but it's really easy to use.

I'm always hunting for new educational games, and remembered a link to this group that sells discounted Minecraft user codes for education users.

Cool interactive relating area and perimiter.

Sounds interesting, but I can't get the link to work :-(

Copyright guide with links to resources.

I love Planbook. I have used it for the past two years and am going to link worksheets to it this year so students can have them at home.

You can set Google to notify you when a form has been submitted, but you only get a link to the update spreadsheet in Google Drive. This script takes all of the submitted data, arranges it the way you want in a document and sends a PDF to the email you designate. I left out the final step in his code, which deletes the temporary file. Now, I also have an archived Google doc of each submitted form! Now, we don't have to manually create a separate mail merge after all of the registrations have been received.

Lots of links for classroom and professional development resources.
