Scoop it!

One of my latest craze for "scooping" up resources is Scoop It! I have set up a free Scoop It! account and can post images, articles, websites, pdfs, blog posts, charts, graphs, and more. You can post your own comments, tips, and ideas for others who follow you. One thing that makes it handy, is that it will connect to Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin, if you desire to post to those also. It is a great tool to follow others who 'scoop' up the same type of resources as you do. You can create up to 5 different categories on the free version.

Summer Challenge

20 Technology Skills that Every Educator Should Have | Digital Learning Environments

I thought this might be a great summer challenge for teachers. Choose a few to learn this summer as a goal before beginning the next school year. I will admit that I am lacking on #15 LOL!

If YouTube is a favorite tool in YOUR classroom, but you do not like for students to view the comments or other related material that are inappropriate, try out Quietube. It erases everything and allows students to view only your video. This is a useful tool in the classroom! Let me know what you think.
