		<title>Teaching Future Entrepreneurs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day I received an inspiring Tweet, "Why we should train kids to be entrepreneurs," from @GuyKawasaki, that got me thinking. Recently, our school had training on how to implement Stephen Covey's 7 Habits, using The Leader In Me program. The Leader In Me program makes a lot of sense to me, and most importantly it makes me envision the positive impacts that producing a leader in every student can have on a school environment, community environment, and ultimately a business environment. Giving kids the knowledge of the 7 Habits and encouraging them to use the Habits to continually analyze and reflect on decisions and actions will prove to be very...]]></description>

		<title>Tweeting Tips for the Classroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently I was checking out my Twitter account and was sent a Tweet (via @timoreilly) containing a great resource, "Twenty Five Interesting Ways To Use Twitter in the Classroom," compiled by Tom Barret (@tombarrett). This collection explains some very applicable ways to implement Twitter into the classroom. This reblog revisits the 25 tips and includes annotations of the resources discussed in the slide show.]]></description>

		<title>The Holiday Resource List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When some extra classroom time arises, it's the perfect opportunity for a spontaneous project, but what will be the project's focus? Thanks to Hallmark and its dependency on the Holidays, they have compiled this list of Hallmark Holidays, that is a great resource for those spur of the moment art projects. I have created links to the matching Wikipedia page to help build some background knowlegdge.]]></description>

		<title>Reviewing Tony Wagner&#8217;s Seven Skills Students Desperately Need</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently read Seven skills students desperately need. Today&#8217;s students could fail at life, says Harvard&#8217;s Tony Wagner,  because their schools are too busy teaching to the test, by Meris Stansbury at eSchoolNews. This was an inspiring article, that I will ponder over the summer. I plan on using the 7 skills as a basis to think about as I develop engaging lessons.
I know that in today&#8217;s classroom, preparing for the state&#8217;s tests takes much effort and instruction time. We find ourselves trying to hit every possible topic that ...]]></description>

		<title>Create a Google Custom Search Engine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google literally searches billions of web pages each time you type keywords into the search bar. When students are researching using Google, the huge amount of search results can been daunting and time consuming to a student who doesn&#8217;t know how to pick through and determine the relevance of each site. Not knowing good search engine techniques can create overwhelming search results.
Do you wish you could compile a list of web sites and then use the search power of Google to allow students to enter search queries that output results from just the sites you have determined? Well now ...]]></description>

		<title>Excel Jeopardy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love the interactivity of PowerPoint, but the tedious work changing each slide is maddening. I created this Excel Jeopardy game that allows the teacher to add all the changes to one page and then play. You can literally set up a game in about 5 minutes. Students can also use this file to create fun games to show their learning.

Projector ready Jeopardy game that even keeps score! Designed for use with a 1024 x 768 monitor resolution. Design the game on the first page, click &#8220;Play Now&#8221; and your ...]]></description>

		<title>Easy Electronic Portfolios</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have tried to perfect the student eFolio for elementary students. Students are so proud to display their work online! It is a great motivator. Finding time, however, to teach html skills, digital photography, design, is the difficulty I always face. Trying to maintain a class&#8217; focus while teaching about the best practices for using tables and hyperlinks is about impossible. This year I plan on going back to the basics and minimalize student web work.
Teaching fifth grade, I find my students are proficient in certain software. Microsoft PowerPoint and Word are the two ...]]></description>

		<title>Brain Vibe &#8211; Using Today&#8217;s Technology in the Classroom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Brain Vibe&#8217;s article titled, &#8220;Hey teacher, can you give me a tweet?&#8221; gives great suggestions on how to use today&#8217;s technology in the classroom. 
Using Twitter to communicate with parents can cut down on paper. Using online forums can give parents, students, and teachers an outlet to discuss topics and get help. Students can blog about the everyday happenings in the classroom. Educational game iPhone apps can help students learn. Skype can be a useful communication tool.
This article is inspiring. I will be rereading in preparation for the upcoming school year. I encourage you to read ...]]></description>

		<title>Shift Your Paradigm and Tweet Already!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy trying new technology in the classroom. I try to find uses for current technologies that will appeal to my students, and add a new presentation possibility to their bag of tricks. There are many free open source programs out there. Some technologies are more quickly grasped by teachers, but some are interestingly avoided. Social Networking is the topic, specifically Twitter. How can you use Twitter in your classroom or school? For students? Parents? Collegues? Staff?
Social Networking is huge! Everybody is doing it. Recently Facebook allowed users to create ...]]></description>

		<title>Education Technology Magazine Is Live</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I wanted to create an online community that offered the opportunity for any educator to share her or his successes. Today’s teachers are extremely busy and finding time to explore worthwhile articles online is not always at the top of their priority list. Time is valuable.
This project was inspired by my new found admiration for Twitter. I first thought posting updates seemed a little ridiculous and privacy invading. After adding some followers, and being followed myself, I realized the amazing availability of knowledge that Twitter offers. Twitter is being used ...]]></description>
