Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week,
thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning
research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some
of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you
for coming by and visiting!

Alphabet
Organizer – “Engage students and build phonemic awareness by using
Alphabet Organizer in the classroom. Students create an alphabet book or
alphabet chart with words for each letter of the alphabet. Or choose just one
word per letter and upload an image to help early readers make a visual
connection between the word and the beginning letter.” (L:G;SA:LA)
Manifest
Destiny – “Manifest Destiny tells the story of the United States in 141
maps from the Declaration of Independence to the present.” (L:H;SA:SS)
Mercury
Reader – A Chrome Extension; “Clear away the clutter from all of your
articles. Instantly. The Mercury Reader extension for Chrome removes ads and
distractions, leaving only text and images for a clean and consistent reading
view on every site.” (L:T;SA:A)
Why
are Birds Different Colors? – “There are thousands of species of birds
and with great numbers come great biodiversity. Birds are among the most
colorful animals on the planet so today we're taking a look at how birds use
science to employ a wide range of chemical and physical tricks when it comes to
feathers.” (L:M,H;SA:S)
