Links and Loves

By -

How was your week? Mine was great!!  Here are some Links and Loves to support your classrooms.
Classroom Screen looks like a useful tool for any classroom. Project various items on the screen for your class including a timer, a random name picker, stop light, text box, etc. No account needed and very easy to use.
If you are looking for a timeline creation tool for your students, Time Graphics looks really REALLY good!  It’s free and these examples look impressive.




Do you want to promote writing with students? Try this simple website.  Set a time and start writing. If the student stops writing for more than 5 seconds, the writing disappears!  When the time is up, the work is saved by date. Students can then download what they wrote or click on the saved file.

A student felt this was important enough to share with me. So I must pass it onto you as well. It's the simple things that can bring me to smile.



It's been an incredible week of connecting with educators both at Oshkosh North High School where I work and with teachers and administrators from all over the nation who are participating in the VMLA free ISTE course in which I am an online coach.  I'm one lucky lady to be able to work and learn from so many amazing and dedicated educators.

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 ...
