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?

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 ...

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 .
