Instant Classroom and TED-Ed

A little random this week, but here are two things you might enjoy!

First up is a website called Instant Classroom (thanks to Teresa G. for sharing!) It gives you an easy way to have an instant random name generator, seating chart or classroom group generator. She says that she uses it a lot for the random name generator to call on students randomly and the students really enjoy it. Thanks Teresa!


Next.. have you ever heard of a TED talk? TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences owned by a non-profit foundation. It was formed to disseminate "ideas worth spreading". TED-Ed is a new platform of TED which shares many educational videos. Enjoy exploring this fun, unique website! (They have an app too!)


TED.com is the original if you haven't seen it before. Here is one of my favorite TED Talks, by Sir Ken Robinson.


And another, Thomas Suarez, a 12-year-old app developer!


What an awesome kid! What would your TED talk be about?

St. Patrick's Day Fun

My favorite blogger, Technology Rocks Seriously, is at it again! She has put together a website of resources for St. Patrick's Day:


So if you're looking for something fun before Spring Break to celebrate St. Patrick's Day or a chance to give your kiddos a break from ISAT testing, she might have something just for you!
