Conferring Notes & Student Data (Paperless) with the Confer App - created by a National Board Certified Teacher! Confer: The app that organizes your conferring notes and student data Though I'm considered to be a 'tech-savvy teacher,' I still struggle with letting go of certain paper systems I'm use to. I feel like I've mastered the perfect templates and spreadsheets for so many of my note taking strategies and record keeping binders. In fact, I've gotten so great at being so organized that I even have templates and checklists to organize my binders.

Scary, right? As a former interior design major, one of the most valuable lessons I learned was that function must outweigh form. No matter how aesthetically pleasing the design is, if the purpose is not functional, the concept will fail. My point: though my binders and templates are fantastic, I'm finding that they are becoming cumbersome when trying to access during instruction. My current system of templates, composition notebooks, binders, and clipboards looks great. Our literacy coach sent out an email about a conferring app. Erin, Sincerely, David.

Move It With Brain Breaks Music Videos {FREEBIE} If you're like me, you'd like one place with all your fun music and movement videos at your fingertips. And it'd be great if those videos were in a safe format so that annoying content wasn't displayed before or after your video played. I took the videos that many of my colleagues use on a regular basis and made a Symbaloo (a really cool visual bookmarking tool that helps people keep their favorite links in order.)

First, I converted each video into a link on SafeShare.tv - a wonderful site that generates a safe link for YouTube videos. It removes all the yucky stuff you don't want. You might have one ad pop up at the bottom of the video right when you hit play, but that's about it. No more questionable content on the sides and nothing comes up when the video ends. Woo hoo! So, here it is! When I find engaging videos, I add them to my Symbaloo which updates automatically. Pinterest / Home. NameSelector. TimerTools.
