Have you tried this resource?
If you haven't used Teachingbooks.net, you may find it helpful for your classroom. Teachingbooks is a collection of resources that gives you access to author biographical information, author interviews, literature connections, audiobook excerpts, lesson plans, and professional development opportunities. We are lucky to have this resource made available through TexQuest - that means public schools in Texas get it for free!

If you are a visual learner, you may want to access a video to help guide you through Teachingbooks. Use the link below the icon to watch.
Twitter Chat
Have you ever participated in a Twitter chat? It's an easy way to get a little PD and make some professional connections from the comfort of your home! Twitter chats happen thanks to hashtags (#) and there are scheduled, organized chats going on nearly every day. If you have ever wanted to try it, or even just read what others have shared, check out this Education Chat calendar to see what's coming up. And I suggest using a Twitter chat app such as HootSuite to make following the chat a little easier.
Need help getting started? I'd be happy to help!
Tech Tip: Clean Up Youtube!
If you want to show a Youtube video clip without all the distracting/inappropriate sidebars, use ViewPure! You just copy/paste your video link and ViewPure gives you a new link that you can safely share with students. http://viewpure.com/
THANK YOU!
