Presentation by LCM's Sumlendia

One of our 5th grade teachers, Summer Diamond, had the privilege to present at iPadpalooza in Austin this week. Little did she know was that we were able to view her with LiveStream that is set up at Eanes School District. I was thrilled when I received the email about iPadpalooza Live. When I logged in, she was just setting up,so I was to catch the entire presentation! I know she won't mind if I share her wonderful classroom ideas for other to view. You can view her slides on her Inspired Adventures in Teaching blog.
Enjoy!

Ran across this tweet from  +Paul Solarz  and thought it was important to share for summer planning. He has some great questions to ponder and to reflect on your past year. Now, we can transform our classroom to make sure we include some global lesson ideas. He gives this link to the Global Edu Toolkit  book that has more than 300+ lesson ideas. I hope someone who has purchased and used this book comments and lets us know if it is worth the cost! You can view the Table of Contents on Google or at Corwin press or at Amazon.
