What better way to teach the consitution than with a game?  Are you teaching your students about the election process this year?  There's a game for that too. Both of these games are avalible as apps in LANrev or as online games at iCivics.org

In this day and age of "Googling" and "Wikipedia" research, students and parents often are confused as to where to go to get the most accurate, up-to-date, and school appropriate research for project-based learning assignments.

The CISD Library Resources website can help with helping students and their parents find the most useful research tools for their grade level. There are search engines, databases, curriculum support, sites that are just for fun, as well as a Symbaloo list of apps offered to CISD students free of charge.

Visit http://www.crowley.k12.tx.us/Domain/666 and select CISD School Libraries and choose your school for all of the library options.

If you have ever been worried that technology is making kids less active, you should check out Go Noddle. As I visit classrooms, I am seeing this tech tool used all the time to get kids moving.  Whether being used on rainy days for indoor recess or just to help kids get their wiggles out during transition time this tool is a fun way to engage students. We all know the research shows that exercise and active movement helps children focus and learn. Check it out. GoNoodle.com
