- Snow Day Reprise
In ten years of being a chair, tomorrow will be the second day I have missed a county wide meeting (so I can work with my AP Comp kids to better prepare for the AP exam). I was going to present on how to teach students on a snow day. But...
- What To Do On A Snow Day Tomorrow
The other day I learned that my book has gone to be printed and will definitely be out on the 27th of this month. One of the topics I discuss is how to deal with "alternative days" such as snow ones. If you like what you see below, you might...
- Another Digital Essential For Your Teacher Backpack
If you search this site for Remind101 you will see that I am fairly obsessed with it as kids today do not use e-mail so this is the way to reach them. You can create a section for each class and for as many classes as you have you will get...

With summer school starting shortly I wanted to tell you about one of the reasons why my students turned in their work at a higher level than ever before. I love it when a student e-mails me and asks the next day if I received the message. My answer...

Bitly Tutorial for Weblinks
I did a post a month ago on Bit.ly which allows you to shorten a url (much as Tinyurl and goo.ly allow you to do). The advantage of this shortener is that you can tailor (as you can with Tinyurl) your link to something your students can remember (such as Bit.ly/Halla). But with Bit.ly you can also save it to a folder in your account so that you can have it as long as you want and you can even see how many times it has been clicked on.
So I have Bitlys saved for my homework pages for my students and did another one for my Back to School night flip. There is no limit so have at it.
