A Few Noteworthy Resources to Round Out the Year:
1. ED.TED.COM -I'm sure you all have heard of TED Talks, well now Ted Talks get an educational facelift. Take a look at these editable units based on popular TED talks replete with quizzes and extension questions. Not happy with a question, no problem. These units can be personalized and revised to your liking as well. 
2. Education On Air - Google is at it again with a free online educational technology conference happening all day May 2nd, 2012 via their video conferencing tool called Google Hangouts. The line up is filled with some heavy hitters in the realm of tech integration. Check in and imagine how this tool could be used by teachers and students.
3. Calibrated Peer Review (CPR)- The last resource goes out to all of our English teachers. Any English teacher would love students to become prolific writers that have the capacity to coherently revise their own work as well as their peers. Well CPR is a Web-based program that enables frequent writing assignments
even in large classes with limited instructional resources. Designed by the CSU system, CPR is meant to help Juniors develop their skills writing for the English Placement Test, (EPT). In fact, CPR
can reduce the time an instructor now spends reading and assessing
student writing. Don't believe it??? Take a look.
