I know I’ve told you about education blogger Will Richardson before. Will has a new company and they’re offering one of their eBooks for free. Visit Powerful Learning to download your free copy of The Connected Teacher: Powering Up, filled with “22 brief articles that…will inspire more educators to become connected learners and transform their practice to better serve iGeneration kids.”
If you’re interested in finding lesson plans that can be used with any of Google’s resources (you know… like YouTube, Sketchup, Docs or GoogleEarth), GO HERE NOW.
Speaking of lesson plans: did you know that the Library of Congress (yes…that one…) has a terrific website with tons of resources for using the LOC primary sources? Check it out – hey, it’s our tax dollars at work! And, if you’re looking for Common Core standards, you can filter the resources that way!
Speaking of Common Core standards, did you know there’s an app for that? If you’ve got an iOS device, you can download a free app here.
And, finally, here’s another one of those great websites where you can remix web videos. Be sure to share these with your students when appropriate – they love them!
