5C Badge Program
Those of you who are working on one of your 5C Badges...just a heads up that the deadline for submitting everything in the course is Tuesday, April 30th. If you don't finish the one you are currently working on by then, you will have to start it all over next year. If you want me to sit down with you and help you, please just send me an email and I am happy to do so.
Tools for the Classroom
Novel Effect
An article popped up in my inbox recently about an amazing new app that I think you will love for your classroom called Novel Effect. It allows you to read a book aloud while it provides special effects and relevant audio. All you have to have is a copy of the book you're reading and Novel Effect provides the sound effects. It is a free app and free to use on Apple & Android devices. Read more here about how to use it and ways to use it in the classroom.
