My
Twitter-Tried-It Challenge is still underway and I think this is a great time to implement something new in our classrooms. Maybe it's a new activity to review before exams, a virtual field trip, a way to organize your exam questions to differentiate or even a new organizational strategy as you get ready for next year. All of these resources were found through Twitter retweets, hopefully thet can get you inspired :) As always, I will be adding these to my lists of resources under the
Fav Websites heading.

21st Century K.W.L Chart- I love using different versions of the traditional K-W-L chart so I was
really excited when I saw this new version used by Victoria Olson. It
allows students to not only ask questions about what they want to know
but also develop a plan in order to find the answers and move forward.
- This updated K.W.H.L.A.Q Chart allows students to fill in: What do I
know? What do I
want to know?
How do I find out? What have I
learned?
What
action will I take? What new
questions do I have?

New Teacher 1st Year YouTube Channel- This YouTube Channel is just getting started up but promises to deliver
helpful teaching tips, explain different strategies, share inspirational videos
and be a great resource for teachers when they start out!
- This channel is monitored by Lisa Dabbs who also organizes the
#ntchat on Twitter so I trust that this channel will soon be full of great ideas :)

Cybrary Man Rubrics Page- Jerry Blumengarten (AKA Cybrary Man) is an amazing online
curator whose website features over 20,000 online resources for
educators!
- His dedicated Rubrics Page features links to pre-made rubrics, rubric-
creation websites, and helpful articles about rubrics & assessment. This
is definitely something to check out if you need to revamp your assessment
system or find that perfect rubric to modify for a new project.
