1. + Using electronic media in the classroom.

2. + Create your own YouTube Channel. Just be really careful about what students can see on your page. Make sure you get permission from your boss. Watch the margins. Get permission!

3. + Use Google Images for vocabulary lessons. You can do all the work. But, I suggest that you have the students do it. Just view all the work before you present it. A picture is worth....

4. + Use Blogs instead of journals. You won’t have to collect them and pass them back. The time and date stamp is nice. Read them before showing them to the class. Teach your students how to make them. Allow student to opt out if they have a problem.

5. + Your entire curriculum can be on a wiki. This is not only a cloud version of your curriculum, but it allows access to your students. You can put the homework assignments, including the handouts on the wiki. You can make links on the wiki that can help your students through the homework. This save paper and time in line at the copier.

6. + LibraryThing can organize your readers’ workshop. This is a site that will help your students find books for workshop or for extra credit. They can write reviews as extra credit assignments. You can use it to organize your classroom library.

7. + Movies are worth playing. Less is more. Get permission. Some movies are worth showing as a whole.

8. + Twitter? Tweet homework assignments. Have your students tweet questions they have that anyone in t the class might have the answer to. Can you think of anything else?

9. + Most schools are not ready for Facebook. Because of bullying laws and public access, most schools can’t handle this distraction. But there are other tools. Edmodo is an example http://www.edmodo.com/ Any others?

10. + iTunes U You can play relevant podcasts and have students create their own podcasts.
