'Scholastic recently visited New Milford High School in order to see how we were using and integrating educational technology. I could not be more proud of how my students represented NMHS and clearly articulated numerous examples of technologies that they have used over the course of the year.

'WordWorld is a cool resource from PBS, who have of late done quite a bit of web development to catch up with the BBC''s excellent interactives.

'(I had the honor of guest blogging for Jason T. Bedell, the brains behind TeachMeet Nashville that you might remember I gave the closing keynote at earlier this year.

'I am in the process of reading Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us by Dan Pink. I am only a few pages in (well a few screens because I am reading it on my Kindle) but I am already having a hard time putting it down.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

'How often have you administered the dreadful CELF-4 Concepts and Directions subtest (especially when they are like, 7 years old) to a kid who bombed it, and wondered how exactly you are going to address those issues without dying from boredom? Give Can You Find It? a try. This app, costing $.99 at the iTunes Store (at the time of this review), is a riddle-style game targeting key spatial and temporal concepts in a fun task.

'Weboword-Vocabulary Visually looks like a great resource for SLPs. I am not at all a fan of SLPs selecting vocabulary to teach in an isolated manner. Where do you start? How are they supposed to learn these words within our limited service delivery models? Sometimes it''s the best you can do, but I much favor the "Robust" and contextual vocabulary instruction advanced by Beck, McKeown, and Kucan in the book Bringing Words to Life , and subsequent commercial products such as Scholastic''s Text T
