FREE Interactive Note Boards with Padlet
I think I have found my new favorite tech tool. An interactive wall where the teacher and students have the ability to add notes and comments securely. The FREE site is called Padlet. It’s been a while since I have been this excited about a new tool to use with my kids. There are so many possibilities […]
15 Things to do With Your Kids on EdModo
Here are fifteen things teachers and students can do with Edmodo. 1. Post assignments for students. Edmodo allows teachers to attach files to assignment announcements. If there is a file your students need in order to complete an assignment, they can access it at the same place they view the announcement. Less clicking is good. […]

Carry On…
This week, I’ll take a little break from technology to vent. I haven’t really given my thoughts on the current state of affairs, so I think it’s time. I live in New York State, where we have Raced to the Top, Common Cored the heck out of our curriculum, and responded to interventions. We have […]

Podcasting 101
I have a lot of favorite things, but Podcasts are definitely at the top of my list. This American Life, Stuff You Should Know, and Serial are some of my all time favorites. It’s not just learning, it’s entertaining. The conversations, the topics, and the hosts of my favorite Podcasts make me keep coming back for […]
Teaching TRUE History
I always hated history in school, and even into college, I thought it was the most boring subject. I knew the basics of our country,but to be honest, I didn’t really have a buy-in or a true care. Most of this changed when I was involved in a federally funded grant program called, “The Teaching […]

As professionals, we are simply finding ways to improve our interactions with students. We are helping our students gather the information they need using the vast amount of materials now available at our fingertips. Just remember, a Blog, the Internet, and technology CANNOT replace the power that is the teacher!
