Website updates.  In the drop-down area of the Grades section of my website, you will find more resources.  I went in and overhauled those pages.  You now have access to 30+ resources for your grade level in each of those pages. WEBSITE LINK HERE


Conferences & Bloggers.  You will also find a few new pages in the Resource Links area: Conferences, Follow That Blogger, and Standards & Frameworks.  If you are interested in upping your Tech Game, connect with people at your site.  See if funds are available for this (conferences that is).  PTC?  Grants?  Conference Budget?  And, sometimes you just need to be inspired by other people who are awesome.  I enjoy reading up on what other teachers are doing to perfect the craft.  Where is education going?  See if any of these tools might encourage or inspire you. WEBSITE LINK HERE
