Blog Love: February/March

Here are my picks from blogland for the past month. Tamar stole a couple of my picks from Differentiation Daily, but I think there are still enough to give you plenty of ideas to try out this month. Hope you enjoy!


The Assistive Technology Blog

Differentiation Daily

Free Technology for Teachers
  • Story Cubes: Nice website with a strategy to try for getting the writing process going. Templates are provided at Cube Creator with six parts to make a cube - great for the elementary school level.
  • Spark Notes on YouTube: Great addition for comprehension in literature courses. Gives a visual and more engaging set of information than something as dry as a study guide packet.

Speech Room News
  • Social Communication Run-down: Jill Kuzma's site is highlighted, in addition to two app outlines. Worth a look.
  • Shop Til You Drop activity: Selfishly, I dug this post because one of the students I work with has a special interest in the area of newspaper coupon ads. Free printables are included and you can tweak the theme to address a variety of target skills.
Hope you all have a great month!
