About AppsApplication software, also known as applications or apps, are being created at an amazing rate. The question of whether those apps are quality educational apps is another question altogether. If you'd like to know what makes an app a good quality educational app, here is an article that helps explain it. http://www.kindertown.com/8-features-found-in-the-best-educational-apps-for-kids/ . There's a new page under the Student Den with more resources for apps.

Daily 5
Do you love teaching but feel exhausted from the energy you expend cajoling, disciplining and directing students on a daily basis? Are you questioning the value of busy work but afraid that ceasing from such activities will lead to chaos in the classroom? Have you heard the phrase, “work smarter, not harder” but don’t have a clue how to start? If so, you’ll want to read this book! We set about designing a structure that would ensure all children were working at their level of challenge while taking responsibility for their learning and behavior, and that would provide meaningful instruction blocks without extensive preparation time for teachers. Thus The Daily 5™ was born. http://www.the2sisters.com/the_daily_5.html
