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!

 Erin's find:  Digital: Divide & Conquer - (Clever Title!)


Written by Matt Sutton a K-5 Sp. Ed. Resource teacher.  Matt's blog shares awesome ideas for technology integration as well as actual activities he does in the classroom.  His blog is full of great ideas and inspiration.  

 You must check out this post on an app called Funny Movie Maker that Erin pointed out to me.

Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. 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.
