Pocket: Save Ideas

I learned about Pocket as another tool for saving ideas, like Pinterest. I signed up for a free account to try it out. 

It is an app and website that allows you to browse news articles and save them for future reference. The articles are selected from news sources around the globe, which I appreciated, as I sometimes have a hard time searching for articles.

As a teacher, I would look for engaging news stories to share with my students to spark their curiosity. There were many to choose from with eye-catching titles.

You can see a preview of what I saw when I chose the topic of "education".

The one downside is it is not easy to search the site for specific articles. You can only search what you have saved. This could mean a lot of sifting for a busy teacher.

New Product: Physical and Chemical Changes Background Digital and Print Stations

I have been busy updating my products and combing through for improvements. I did manage to create this one!  Physical and Chemical Changes Background Digital and Print Stations The physical and chemical changes background stations provide a kinesthetic way for students to gain a brief background on the physical changes, chemical changes, chemical reactions, evidence of changes (density, solubility, flammability, melting point, boiling point, states of matter, and odor). 10 stations can be printed for the classroom or shared digitally with students. Each station includes a check for understanding questions to lead to the next station. A student worksheet has a spot to record the station answers. The teacher's guide has the answer key and the order of the stations.
