Yesterday I shared about Book Spine Poems (see yesterday's post below for more). Here are the five I came up with from the books in our Secondary Media Center. I've shared them with the School Library Journal and will put them up in the Secondary Media Center encouraging students to make some book spine poems of their own. ICS teachers, I'm willing to put up pictures of book spine poems your students come up with too.
Teacher Tools, Resources, Ideas, Etc.
TeachThought had a great list up this week of 20 Things You Can Do In (About) 10 Minutes a Day For a Better Classroom. Some of the ideas pretty much every teaching method class drills into your head, but there are some other great ideas listed that I had never heard before. Most of these things can be used in a wide range of classrooms, K-12.
Free Technology For Teachers shared yesterday that Google Maps just released a new tool called Google Maps Engine Lite. It allows you to customize the maps in various ways. Those of you teaching geography or social studies could use it in your classes for mapping activities. Many special education students also benefit from mapping activities if they struggle with organization, listening skills (give them directions to follow on map) or visual acuity (a map is just as good as a hidden object page for making those eyeballs and brain synapses get a workout).
