A Few Good Blogs and A Tribute To My Colleague

By Anonymous -
Last week a colleague of mine, Erin,  shared a new blog that she had found.  I told her that I also had discovered a new blog.  And that is all the inspiration I needed for this blog post.  I knew that we needed to share these new found blogs with all of you as well!

 I highly suggest that you read this entire blog post, since there is a little surprise at the end!

They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like.
