Monday Links For Educators

For Biology there is a Yahoo group called apbioarchive that you as a teacher can join. They will ask what you can contribute as everyone in the group adds to the lessons but you can find complete lessons here and many resources.

For fun and creative uses here is a site that lets you create your own comic strips. You sign up for an account (it’s free) and then click create my own and start clicking on choices. The site is called Toondoo and it is just FUN for all ages -elementary student to teacher. Illustrate a point in a presentation, encourage a reluctant writer, create a personalized parent newsletter for your class - I know you will have many more ideas!

A site that would be great for writing prompts is the Special Projects Idea Generator

You click on the white squares and it picks random words. There are a few words like erotic that can pop up so you might want to do the choosing and just spin till you get a group of words for the week.

Geography - a tetris game played with a map of the United States of America. The states fall and the player has to manipulate them into the correct spot.

Many of these links were shamelessly stolen from the Bionic Teaching blog. Thank and kudos on an awesome blog. ! There are always great resources there and if you are beginning to read blogs I would recommend adding this one to your reader.

I think this is going to be the best school year ever! I hope you find something useful here. Have a great first week of school!
