Yesterday, I found a web page/program yesterday that collects articles you like. Its called Scoop.It!, you can access it on this link. Or click the page linked above in my blog, titled "ESL articles" and you will see my Scoop It collection of ESL articles.
This morning I was looking on my iPad to see if there was an app for Scoop It. There isn't, there is something similar, called "Read.It!", but I didn't love it at first. Then after reading a few more articles (because there are a million articles on using the iPad in education) I found an app called Zite.
Zite collects articles based on your interests, then the more you read and the more you "like" a topic, the more specific it gets to your results. After reading a few articles and "liking" new topics, my article news feed got better and better.
I started reading some education articles, and came across this topic - idea paint. Its whiteboard paint. I looked it up online. Its a bit pricey, $225 for 50 sq ft, but I think it could be a game changer for a classroom. Imagine every surface being a white board...the possibilities are endless.
