Technology in the Classroom... Paper Style

I did a worksheet with my students last year that was a template of Facebook that they had to use to introduce themselves to the class. As a perk I let them sign the bottom of it like they were posting on each others walls...

Here is a template that teachers can use:

Some of the better templates may cost $1.00 or 2... But its an amazing site to help teachers out!

Grammar Book (That lead to a new blog!)

I really like this grammar book that students can make (This will be made in my classroom during December) and they will hold on to them to help with their writing. Also this grammar book is on another blogger's website, so hopefully it can help you out more in the classroom!

Post-it Lessons for EVERYONE

This website has over 200 lessons to use with post-it notes. As a teacher I LOVE using post-it notes from everything like making list.. to having my students take quick notes on them before writing a full paragraph on summerizing from a story.

Cultural Differences In America

This introduction to an Alaskan Culture is an amazing clip to show students that may feel isolated in their own town or culture.
