Participate Learning

How many of you have storage issues like me?  I have things stored everywhere!  When I moved classrooms this summer, I realized I have a SERIOUS problem. I have too much stuff.  I can't get rid of anything!  I need to organize it all!! Since I was in the mood for organizing my room, I went online to Erin Klein's website.  Have you been to it?  It is awesome! http://www.kleinspiration.com/. Erin had an article posted on there about Appolicious, which is now called Participate Learning.  https://www.participate.com  This is a fabulous site!  You can find websites, apps (Apple and Android), videos, etc. other teachers have already collected, or you can start your own collection. Common Core State Standards are embedded in their site, so you can search according to each strand (even if you are not a CCSS school, it is a good place to start, as it will get you great resources which are vetted by teachers in the field).
Another advantage to Partipate Learning is there are so many platforms you can upload.  I've uploaded my Smart Notebook lessons, including some with YouTube videos, word documents upload easily, an Apple app which I use specifically for subitizing I loaded directly into a file just for this, and websites are a breeze to upload! I am loving the organization!

To top it all off, if you have questions, the staff is terrific, too!  I've worked with both Brad Spirrison and Alan Warms, and they both are committed to making sure your experience with Participate Learning is positive.  If you have questions or suggestions, they are willing to work with you to better their product.  No kidding, my friends, these people are the real deal!  Please check it out - you'll be happy you did!
