> ===I am using this site to organize the websites my students can use during Workshop, so they know exactly what sites they can go to. It will make student computer use so much easier! T.C., Conder Elementary===
 * **Broadcasting your power points over Synchroneyes is a great way to share information with students while ensuring they aren't playing or doing other things on their computers. K.S., Dent Middle School**
 * ===I have begun organizing numerous websites through Symbaloo.com to make it easier for my students to immediately find a website rather than having to always type in the address in the address bar. I constantly use digital images to make real life connections and build background knowledge. I usually display these digital images on the Smartboard when teaching. J.H., Conder Elementary===
 * ===A wonderful techno tip I am using is called "computer tag" I have a computer schedule up on the wall by the computers and each student from their learning club completes an activity (reading, math, etc) and tags the next person to go to the computer to complete their task, until all have been tag. This is done during MM, and subject time, and SSR.! C.W., Bridge Creek Elementary===
 * ===Our ITS introduced us to a site called Symbaloo. http://www.symbaloo.com===
 * ===CropADile - This was a Christmas gift from my parents a few years ago. I ended up buying a second one just for school! http://www.weronthenet.com/craftingtools Yes, it's meant to be used in papercrafting but I use it all the time for punching materials at work. It will punch through several sheets of cardstock and you can set the distance from the edge of the paper to suit your purposes. There are 2 different sized holes available plus an eyelet setter. Can't wait to purchase the Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite which has a 6" reach. S.M.===
