Inspiration from my wonderful colleagues comes in all different forms this week:

#1 Amy used Bringit.bz - This site allows a person to make a sign up for any event. Amy used this site for a upcoming soup luncheon that we will be having. Click here to take a tour of the site.

Here are 30 ideas for using Bringit.bz
One way I could see using Bringit.bz is to allow students to choose a role that they would like to have and then create groups based on those choices. 
Click here to see my example:

#2 Ginger is using Easynotecards.com to help her students learn content. This site lets you create flashcards and then students can use the flashcards in several ways:

I enjoyed playing the Bingo game and found that I was challenged, but also improved considerably the more I played.

#3 Abby is using Replayit.com to collect photos for our yearbook.  

Click here for FAQ.  I look forward to using this site because it is convenient and simple to use.

#4 Catherine is looking into Class Flow. This site allows you to create a lesson that is interactive with your students.

Aren't these wonderful resources? Thank you to Amy, Ginger, Abby and Catherine for sharing the great tools that they have found. These educators add inspiration to my job every day.

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.
