Teachers Unite! Educational Blogs, Feedly & Adobe Spark
As an avid Pinterest user and Google searcher, it's no surprise to me that a teacher's best resources are often other teachers. While I have come across several teacher blogs in my browsing days, this week I really spent some time looking for blogs that would be beneficial for me to follow on a regular basis -- blogs that share ideas about my kids in early childhood land. (Sometimes it feels like it's own island.)
Here are some of my favorite finds:
It may seem overwhelming for a busy teacher to keep up with so many different helpful blogs and resources, but this week I learned about Feedly. If you don't know about it, you should check it out. You can easily add all of your favorite blogs to one feed that allows you to quickly scroll through new (and old) content in one browser window. It took me less than 5 minutes to add these to mine. Super easy and super convenient.
Another great new tool I learned about this week is Adobe Spark. Many of us use Adobe products on a regular basis, but Spark was a new one for me and has opened up a new world of creativity. Adobe Spark can be used to create so many things -- social graphics, presentations, slide shows, invitations, flyers, menus, advertisements, newsletters, and just about any kind of infographic you can think of. It can be especially helpful for those who use social media for regular communication, whether personal or business related. I took it for a short test drive and created a simple graphic, but Spark's possibilities are almost endless.
