Feedly


Google Reader will be closing in July.  Thanks to A Media Specialist's Guide To Internet website I have found a good alternative to Google Reader.  You can import all of your feeds into Feedly.  There is also an app for Android, iPhones, and Kindles. Pin It

Class Dojo



I thought I would share an old favorite for classroom behavior management. Class Dojo   is a great site to use to track students behavior.  I like to use it to keep track of students work in cooperative groups.  I track their participation and behavior.  I pull of Class Dojo on my iPAD or Smart phone and walk around recording students behavior. Class Dojo is easy to set up and use.  Results for behaviors can be shown in a graph for students to see.  Parents can also be emailed the results as well. Pin It
