Snow Day Resources 2014

**iPads in the Classroom.  You can google it by your content area.  Apple also has many resources right on their site.  http://www.apple.com/education/ipad/teaching-with-ipad/

**Set up your classes in Schoology.  Once you log in to the program you can click on the small arrow in the far right side and choose Help Center.  There are a number of tutorials to help you set it up.  You can keep those classes from year to year and just change the students.

**Take another look at http://www.scimathmn.org/stemtc/frameworks to look at the standards, sample lessons, and assessment suggestions.

**Take time to really look through the IXL and Raz-Kids websites.  There is information that may help you expand your understanding of how to use the program.

**Log in to Edutopia.  There are articles about standard based teaching, technology and more.  

**Learn Zillion has lesson plans and Common Core information for all ages.  If you click on Community and Blog you will see many articles and vides about teaching in the common core.

**NWEA has webinars.  Here is one on discovering how growth data can increase the impact of programs and interventions.  http://info.nwea.org/index.php/email/emailWebview?mkt_tok=3RkMMJWWfF9wsRojv6vBZKXonjHpfsX74u0sWKK2lMI%2F0ER3fOvrPUfGjI4CRcpgI%2BSLDwEYGJlv6SgFQ7fDMal507gLUhU%3D 

**The Teaching Channel has hundreds of videos on many topics.  

**MCA Resources page on http://www.mnstateassessments.org/ is a good site to look over for item samplers and student resources.

**Download Zite on your iPad and set it up to load articles about your areas of interest.  This is a great way to have a news feed that provides you with information that is interesting to you.

**Set up a Twitter site and look for people who teach subjects similar to you.  I have many technology, curriculum, and political sites on my twitter and it is a great way to stay up on topics when I have 30 seconds to just take a peak.

If you are having difficulties logging in to any of the resources, please email me and I will be on my computer all day to assist you.
