Check out my map!


I hope you've been having a great summer so far!   Right now, I'm in the middle of a Google Course to become "Google Map Certified".   As a part of my homework, I had to share a map of that I created.... please enjoy the map I made above!  I have so many ideas of how to use this in the classroom... another fun way to integrate tech in the upcoming school year!

Dotty Dots

Are you looking for a fun way for your students to interact with spelling or vocabulary words?   Check out Dotty Dots.

All you do in type in a message in the box up at the top, press go, then roll your mouse over the word to make the magic happen!    If you click on the bottom right, the dots can do different things!  It defaults on original but there is also tornado & whirlpool.   It's a lot of fun to do as a class or have students work on individually.  Check it out!
