<p>I'm a big fan of the use of puzzle apps in the classroom. I think that they can be great for stimulating higher level thinking skills and for encouraging creative thinking. I have a lot that I use on my iPod Touches at school.</p>

<p>One of the latest ones that I have used is SwipeTapTap. It is great for concentration and memory skills. It encourages fast thinking and attention to detail - all good classroom skills!</p>

Some members on here may remember the recent webinar from Weebly on how to create a classroom website and student blogs. The webinar is in the archives, but if you don't want to replay the full 1hr session, take a look at this guide I created on how to create a site with Weebly websites.<br />

Wordle.net is becoming one of the most used new technology tools for teachers. It is free, and versatile enough to be used in any area of the curriculum. There are lots of different ways to use Wordle, so I decided to compile a few of my favorites with some I already use and put them together in a top ten list. They are in no particular order, but if you want to check them out, click the following link to see my…

iLearn have a link to a great site called <a href="http://www.storycove.com/" target="_blank">Story Cove</a>. After you register, (a quick and painless process), you have access to online stories that are told through short movies and come complete with teacher notes. All the stories are based on popular folk tales from around the world. A great resource for K-2.<br />

It connected to my Macbook with no problem at all and looks great. It has a range of about 30 feet, like most Bluetooth mice, and should be a useful tool for my classroom.

No longer will I need to stand next to the LCD projector with my laptop. I can wander the room, or stand out the way of the screen. Best of all, I could give the mouse to any student in the room to operate from their desk. I am looking forward to testing it out tomorrow.<br />

I just updated my personal blog to share my experiences of <a href="https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTUxNTY1MDk" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> with you. I have used it for over a year now and it has changed the way I do things on my computers. It is an online backup, sync, and sharing tool. You download a <a href="https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTUxNTY1MDk" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> folder to your computer, and everything you put in it is backed up online. You can share folders or individual files with others via a url link, or by email. And, best of all for me, is the sync ability. I have downloaded Dropbox on my Mac at school and on my PC at home. Every time I change or add a new file to my Dropbox, it is instantly synced to my other computer. I hardly ever use a USB flash drive, or bring my school laptop home with me, as Dropbox does it all for me. You also have online access to all your files, and can retrieve files you have deleted. <a href="https://www.getdropbox.com/referrals/NTUxNTY1MDk" target="_blank">Dropbox</a> gives you 2Gb of storage for free. Any more than that and you are into the payment plans.<br />
