PrimaryWall

I have found another tool that I am in love with! I am a post-it junkie. I am not ashamed of this addiction! When I was going over math problems with my students I liked to work problems with them on post-its, and the brighter the color the better of course. With PrimaryWall you can create lessons without having to use any real post-its! I also love that if a student is absent they can still participate by going to the wall you created and then contributing to the lesson.

I pulled the following lesson suggestions from PrimaryWall's website:

Tell me something you have learned in this lesson.

Phonics-Write down a word with the /ai/ sound in. You'll probably get

some alternatives like /ay/ which you can then get the children to sort into groups.

Write down the opening sentence to your story.

Write as many adjectives as you can.

List different ways to make 20.

Write down different animals and then sort into groups.

Write down one living and one non-living thing and then once everybody

has done that you can sort into groups of living/non-living things.

Write down a question for discussion on a note. One can then then be chosen for

debate.

Too Much 007

Okay so maybe I watched one too many spy movies as a kid, but I have a new gadget. I am in love with it. I have always been nuts about the whole "this message will self-destruct" thing and now they have a web 2.0 tool for it!!!!!

This would have been so fun to use in my classroom, and a great way to see if the kids are really paying attention.

self-destructable text notes

Now go get your spy on!
