Great Resources

I have some resourcse for you!! Most of you probably already have this, but if you don't, you MUST STOP what you are doing and CHECK THIS OUT! If you like to teach without books, check out this resource!!
Ditch That Textbook is a wonderful resource, loaded with great ideas for you to think outside the box, to stretch your teaching.  Take your kiddos on virtual field trips - they will LOVE IT!!!!
If you haven't started to move toward digital teaching, I challenge you to make small steps.  This is how I did it! Try a new app or website each week or month, depending on your comfort level.  Talk to your students, letting them know you are trying something new. Tell them you need their help to give you their feedback afterward, so you can improve upon it for next time.  I've done that for Seesaw, Mystery Skype, Google Classroom, Shadow Puppet, Periscope, ChatterPix, PicCollage Plickers, and many other of my favorite apps.  We are not completely digital in my classroom.  I still have students writitng on paper every day.  You don't have to be a 21st Century Classroom to make this work.  I started with just one iPad, and now we have five iPads and five Chrome books.  I have a DonorsChoose request out for another iPad, as I feel a few more iPads would be a better fit for my classroom
Take the plunge!  Make the move toward digital!!!!

    I will be blogging about my most favorite app, Seesaw very soon!  Watch for it!!! If you want to check it out before then, here's the link: Seesaw
