Nowadays, we not only need to teach children the "Stranger Danger" safety, but we need to add internet safety into the mix. Our students are using technology at a younger age than ever before and most likely do not realize that strangers can be online as well. This website offers a great lesson plan on how to teach Kindergarten (yes Kindergarten) and first grade students that strangers exist online as well. I would love to come into the classrooms and co-teach this lesson with you! Check out the full lesson plan here.

The first one is Zoho Projects.
The second one is Smartsheet Project Management.
Technology has rapidly evolved over the past decade to look many different ways. 21st century learning is anything including blended learning, hybrid learning, or even flipped learning! This website has found 20+ educational tools to help you shape your classroom into the learning hub you always knew it could be! Check it out. There are tools for coding, curating educational content, assessment tools, tools for gathering feedback from students, tools for flipped classroom, and augmented reality apps.
Students can become their own authors using Stapleless Books. This tool allows them to create short, printed books that are 6-8 pages. This could be a great tool for students to create books that summarize chapters or even units. It also allows that creativity and collaboration if you would want students to create books in small groups. The process is very simple. Students open the tool, create a title, and begin working on their book from there. When they are done, they can print the pages and make an actual foldable book.
