The information you want can be delivered to you by using RSS feeds in your classroom Wiki. There's no need to spend hours of your extra time searching for articles or blogs for your students to read - RSS feeds send the information to you and you have control of what information reaches your students.

The first episode illustrates how to create a Wikispace. Other episodes will illustrate how to use it for effectiveness in the classroom and outside the school walls.

This episode demonstrates how we will go about setting up e-books on your iPad and the use of the Kindle app as we continue to focus on Literacy in the CT classroom.
