>Links of Note

>I decided I needed to start writing at least biweekly about the links I pull from my Twitter feed. That way, at least they’re all in the same place, and I can look anything I’ve forgotten up using tags. This is what I’ve got so far:

I’m interested in this only because I’m always curious about what more I can do with my iPad. For the most part, I use it for my college classes (in an effort to be more green), to create last minute presentations when the internet in my hallway at school is down and to allow kids to view videos for Skeleton Creek and Trackers from their desks and not my teacher station. I’m anxious to see what more I can do with this device.

A collection of links to writing prompts. Good for timed writing. Has RAFT prompts, some from Six-Traits, and a link to photo prompts. Not a bad resource to have on hand.

This Australia-based website has information on what readers do and how to help struggling readers in the middle grades. I haven’t perused it completely, but put it here to refer back to when I have some time.

Royalty free sound effects. (I think this one comes from Google.) Needless to say, I could see how this could work well for school video or Glogster projects.
