Links and Loves - Friday, September 10

By -

Hello Friday! Links and Loves are my way of sharing interesting finds from my week.


1.  Here are a few podcasts that I enjoyed on my commute

365 Inclusive Learning Strategies to Help Every Child
How to Help Struggling Readers in Grades 6 - 12
Smart Thinking Podcast - Look for the Leaders

2.  Have you seen this special video message? Being an empty nester once again, this message made me tear up a bit. 

3.  Something I'm not sad about is this! Are you ready? I'm a big fan!

4.  I was reminded of this fun tool when a colleague asked me how to create rainbow text.
5.  This site lets you see what the Internet was like 10 years ago today. I find this interesting and I think students might too! Tomorrow would be a memorable day to look at this site (9/11/21)

6.  I enjoyed trying to guess these AI generated movie images. I'm impressed with how well some of the images depicted the movie. Artificial Intelligence is a topic I'm always trying to learn more about.

That's a wrap for this week. I hope you have a great weekend filled with  👨‍👨‍👧 🏈 🎉 I'll be doing the same.

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

By Anonymous -

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.

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...
