I signed up to donate bone marrow in the case that someone would need my type. Please consider this if you are in good health. Our class uses Today's Meet to have discussions online while researching questions and ideas. It allows for collaboration, while students work independently. Check out examples throughout this website! We use SpellingCity.com to practice our spelling words each week. Thanks to the reasonable yearly fee, I am also able to have my children take their tests her as well! This saves me so much time. :) I will be trying to use Diigo more effectively with my class this year. I already use it daily for my own social bookmarking!
I can't say enough about Weebly! I use it daily to create this website. It has a wonderful FREE option (which I started with), but paying $50 each year allows you to do amazing things with your students. Just check out the pages to see for yourself! :) ABC/25 is the one organization that I can point to as helping me the most in my quest to create a 21st Century Classroom. They have provided me with $500-$1500 each school year over the past 10 or so years. This money has gone towards purchasing technology equipment, simulations, instructional materials, etc. for my students and the other 5th graders at Westgate!

This website was kind enough to donate a $500 virtual news set for our classroom to use while creating our News Broadcasts. If you know anyone who can use their services, please recommend them!!! We sure do!!! A sample News Broadcast using their Virtual News Studio can be seen here.
See the commercial we made for their website here!
Glogster was kind enough to give our classroom a discount for the 2012-2013 school year. Please support them by using either Glogster or Glogster EDU. We enjoy making interactive posters and you can see some examples on our website! See an explanation video for Glogster here.
TCI, (a.k.a. History Alive) has given us a free subscription this year to its online component! We will be doing all lessons online and discovering the many benefits of this delivery model! Thanks TCI! Click here to go to the Online Tutorial to study for quizzes.
This year, I will be trying out a few lessons from Pearson's new math program called enVision Math. It's ahead of the game by integrating the Common Core standards into its lessons. It also differentiates lessons nicely for all levels and abilities! :) Click here to learn more about this amazing math program!
Creately is an amazing website that allows you to create and collaborate on graphic organizers of all kinds. They have provided our classroom with a Creately Scholarship so we can all work together online for free! Thank you so much Creately!!
