30 Day Blogging Challenge from Te@chThought: Day 26

In response to the recent challenge from te@chthought, I'm participating in a 30 day blogging mission, starting September 1st!

Day 26
What are your three favorite go-to sites for help/tips/resources in your teaching?


  • Right before I started writing this I was watching a youtube tutorial for the iPad version of iMovie.  I needed to figure out how to add special graphics related to the themes that you can add to your project.  I am endlessly grateful for video tutorials on youtube!

  • All through my 3D printing summer camp this year I used TinkerCAD, which kind of blew me away. Web utilities these days are getting REALLY powerful and REALLY easy to use.

  • I'm still reeling from this notion that George Lucas sold Star Wars and donated it to education, in part creating Edutopia.  It's particularly personal to me that my lifelong favorite film series was sold to benefit my chosen lifelong career path.  If its origin story were different, Edutopia would still be one of my favorite resources.  I love how linked it is to the education community on Twitter, and how inviting it is for educators to publish on the site.  Today's headline about educating 20th century parents to see the benefit of 21st century education is extremely relevant to my everyday challenges as a teacher
