A year or two ago I found a series of presentations that offer suggestions for ways to support student learning. @tombarrett, an educator from the UK has worked collaboratively with people around the world to develop these presentations for educators.
Today I came across one of these presentations and thought I'd share it with you. It is called 52 Interesting Ways to Support Writing in the Classroom. If you are looking for new and interesting ways to engage your students in the writing process, please check out the suggestions in this presentation.
Do you have an interesting strategy that you use to engage students in writing?
If you'd like to see the other Interesting Ways presentations, visit Tom Barrett's blog.
If you need help using any of the technology tools suggested in the presentations, let me know!

BrainPoP Quizzes and Printables
At a staff meeting last week, an Intermediate School teacher asked where to find the printable activities in BrainPoP. On this 2-page handout, you'll find directions for locating a quiz in BrainPoP and the printable activities associated with it.
Look for other resources in BrainPoP for Educators. It's free to sign up and you don't need a BrainPoP account to access it.
How do you use BrainPoP in your classroom? Another teacher recently said BrainPoP helped an ELL student in her classroom learn to divide using the Spanish language version of the videos. I used it with my 6th graders ages ago to introduce or review concepts.

About this blog...
This blog is for educators who want to learn more about using and integrating instructional technologies into the curriculum.
If you would like to know more about a specific technology or how it might fit with your curriculum, please email me and I will answer your questions in my blog posts:
c t i c e @ g s t b o c e s . o r g
For example, a teacher recently asked me how to use the camera tool in ActivInspire and I made this video for her:
She thought other teachers might like a place to go where this type of information would be handy, so I am offering it to you in this blog.
I will be updating this as often as possible and I will keep posts brief. Use the LABELS tool on the right side of this blog to quickly search topics by keyword. Please leave feedback and let me know what you think as we go along.
I hope you'll find this to be helpful :-)
