Thing 7b

I'd like to share 2 items of interest that I discovered through the TechLearning blog. The first is Quizlet. It is an online program where teachers can plug in the information to be learned and the website makes an online quiz and printable flashcards. Looks like a fun way to learn some not so exciting data - definitions, states and capitals, etc.

I also liked from TechLearning The Writing Teacher. It had a great power point on teaching rules for commas and had worksheets available to print. This is great for me, because I need practical ways to teach the rules. My learning disabled students don't internalize the mechanics of grammar and punctuation very well and need practical rules to use. I'm looking forward to finding many more useful items at The Writing Teacher.

I found a cute Mother's Day lesson at Suite101. Based on a poem, the students learn that mothers are people too.
