A friend of mine just posted a picture of new sharpies on FB with the comment “I love a fresh supply of Sharpies.” She was unpacking her supplies for the school year and even after 10 plus years was excited about a new beginning. Many others have posted that they have set up their classrooms and are ready to go. Kids and adults alike all face a new school year with anticipation- new supplies, fall clothes and new resolutions. I always started out with a bunch of “this year, I am going to….” dreams. I usually had visions of staying organized or at least making it look like I was organized. I have a tendency to cover flat surfaces in my own organized fashion, but I digress. This time around, I am trying to organize my resources. Check out this list of eighty online tools, references and resources. Although eighty of anything can be overwhelming, and it is nice to have these links all in one place but how could I organize them? Or how could I consolidate them with my other resources? I really like using Livebinders because your links are organized just like a binder with a working page embedded in the binder. You can start different binders for different topics and give kids a URL to get there (no emails necessary!). I have also just started my own Delicious bookmarking site and am trying to learn the fine art of tagging to keep them organized. I would like one of those tv shows to come in and give my virtual closet of resources a makeover! Any other suggestions?
