More to come....

Yay!! I have finally caught up with all of the sites I have previously found and been trying to post for awhile. Now to go through pinterest, webinar notes etc. to find more sites to share! Look for more posts in the next couple of weeks. Until then, check out my Pinterest page or simple K-12!! Good things are happening :-) I'm also in the process of working on some handout type materials(app list), site form etc. and will be putting everything on a Live Binder or a Google Doc which I will share when ready. If you have concept/skill that you are looking for a site or an app for, let me know and I will work on trying to find.
Have a great week!!

Special Ed Sites

Autism blog guide

List of various Autism blogs(all links have not been checked out, but this looked like a good resource)

 

My Study Bar

One of my FAVORITE special ed resources! Best thing about this is that it runs off of a flash drive, so no need for a tech person to "install". Has resources to help students that may need visual or auditory support

My favorite site, follow on facebook and it is how I find out about apps for sale or "free" for a certain time.

Variety of sites

Now to catch up on the sites I've saved already, so I can move on to all of the new ones ;-)

Great website with some practical tips for using Evernote in the classroom. If you are not using the Evernote app now for yourself, START! It is such a time saver in so many ways.

It's been way too long...

I am so sorry it has been so long since I posted on here, but I have been so busy. I have a lot of different things in the work, so I will be updating a lot on the blog soon. I will also be posting an updated Ipad app list soon. I've been working on going through the apps and weeding out the ones that the kids really don't use(I needed the space ;-)). I've also been presenting for Simple K-12 and doing webinars for them. So stay tuned, I promise there is a lot more to come! Check out my Pinterest site in the mean time, LOTS of new resources there!!

We are Teachers

There was a blog post(see screen shot above) on August 14, 2012 that was titled 8 Tech Tools for Common Core. When working on this blog post, I couldn't get their blog to load. Hopefully it was just a glitch tonight, so try it later. The post was really good.

 

Utah Common Core standards site

Link for their curriculum is up at the top to search for lesson plans etc.

 

Common Core tools

Scroll down to a link for free interactive and web 2.0 resources. The post goes through how to sign up for a free account to Classroom connect in order to have access to these activities and lesson. She is constantly updating, but not every standard for every grade has something yet(last time I looked). Take a look though, she may have what you are looking for! Great resource;-)
