Via Ms. Hayes at the 49er Academy:
This is pretty cool. It soundtracks books, and allows students to create soundtracks to their own writing. Seems like it could really bring a narrative to life.

Google Custom Search Engine
Via Mr. Hicks:
Have you seen this? It let’s you create a custom search engine, searching websites that you want to direct your users to. I just stumbled upon it.
Genius Hour
In the interest of sharing the awesome things happening across the district and knowing that our teachers rarely have enough time to capture all the amazing things they are doing, I will be posting some things I've seen, heard about, or read about that teachers across the district are doing. Many of these first posts are from Ms. Hayes at the 49er Academy.
I launched a mini genius hour a few months back. I'm trying to manage it using technology. Today I created a form to collect the URL's of their projects (mostly glogs). All their responses appear in the spreadsheet below the form so everyone can see what everyone else has been up to. Check out some of their projects. I literally gave them no instructions. "Go learn about something. Literally whatever you want. And present it some way." I wanted to see what would happen. A baseline if you will.
Under the Genius Hour tab.
