This week I am sharing two articles I think you might want to check out!
321 Free Tools for Teachers
Teachers love the word "free," and the linked article 321 Free Tools for Teachers offers many web 2.0 tools that you may want to check out. This is organized by topic including free tools to create infographics, which follows up from last week's post about visual information. Two other topics I want to highlight help in terms of copyright compliance: Sites to download Royalty Free and Creative Commons Music for teachers, and free Stock Photos sites for teachers. Check some of these sites out! Share the with students too.
6 Ways Teachers Kill the Joy of Reading
I am guilty of some of these practices as a classroom teacher. I continue to have a great interest in helping students develop a "life-long love of reading," as many teachers do. I also follow leaders of reading on Twitter and repeatedly hear how we as teachers work to encourage students to love reading, but we also counteract this by our practices as indicated in this article. Donalyn Miller, author of The Book Whisperer and Reading In The Wild, shares many best practices to encourage and develop students in our classrooms as "real" readers.
