goal

Welcome to one of the 70 million new blogs in the last ten years! With all of the new information coming at us, absorbing it at high speed is not always easy. My goal for this blog is to provide a space where educators can come and get great ideas (new and old) that are tried and true classroom winners. I am collecting your favorite websites used to reinforce ideas or start conversations, apps that can be seamlessly included in your daily classroom practices, paper and pencil plans that are winners with any audience, activities that engage, and ideas, comments, or questions thtat we can share, answer, or address as a community. Thanks for the input! The best ideas from in-services seem to often come from the discussion period after. Please give us the best of your best!
