Happy 2018 Everyone!!
Here are some interesting finds from perusing through the web.



This addon for Google Forms lets you add a certificate to a quiz. If a person takes your quiz and passes with a certain percent (set by you) they will earn a certificate that is emailed to them. Here is my certificate I earned from passing a quiz (don't look too closely at my score :-). This would be a neat way to acknowledge student achievement, staff completion of a survey or provide a reward for a club or sport. It always more special when you receive a certificate for a reward!
I love organizing and finding ways to store things. Since I consider myself a DIYer, doesn’t this look like a great idea?


This week a Bomb Cyclone hit the East Coast. Apparently this is like a winter hurricane!
Also, Niagara Falls froze and the images are spectacular!


Do you make a New Year’s Resolution? This year I’m going to try the #OneWord2018 idea. My #OneWord2018 is #Different - I want to try things I haven’t tried before and learn from those who think and live differently than I do. Want to see what others are doing? Check out this online community OneWordONT.


Quizalize looks like an assessment tool worth looking into. You can visually see who gets it and who needs help.


"Cheers" to a fabulous 2018! I hope your year is off to a great start.

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. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
