Adam Bellow and eduTecher

By Anonymous -

It's my first #ISTE13 post and I haven't even arrived in San Antonio yet.  However, I just had to share this before I arrive at the conference.

 One of the Keynote speakers this year is Adam Bellow.  Unfortunately I will not be able to hear Adam talk since I will already be back in Wisconsin. 
Adam is the founder of the web site eduTecher.net as well as eduClipper.net. 

 If you haven't used either of these sites, you should check them out.

 The eduTecher.net site is used as a way to keep track of the growing number of web tools that could be used in the classroom setting.  The website's mission is to help educators and schools around the world effectively integrate technology and web tools into the classroom.

Here are three reasons I love the eduTecher site:


1)  eduTecher site has eduTecherTV videos made by Adam himself.  As you may know, one of my favorite ways to learn is through videos, so this part of the website really appeals to me. 

Check out this video from the site about a tool called Poll Code:



And this video on Blip Snips:


2)  Another tab on the eduTecher site is the links tab.  This tab lets you search for web tools by subject area.
There are so many great tools to explore!

3)  One of the neatest parts of the eduTecher site is the eduClipper tab.  Think of eduClipper like a version on Pinterest.  This site lets you clip and share sites from the web with others.


In my opinion, eduTecher is one of the best web sites for searching and learning about new web tools.  Kudos to Adam Bellow!

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. 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. 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 ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
