18. TWIDUCATE
If you would like to use a "twitter-like" program to communicate with
students, parents, other faculty members, and administrators without
exposing your "tweets" to the outside world (or strangers who just want to
follow you???)....you might want to try Twiducate.
This social networking site works like Twitter but is designed for educators to use
with their classes or for schools to use to inform their parents, teachers, and
students of the latest news

19. READER’S THEATER PROPS
Readers theater doesn’t have to be a fancy production. Our simple props
will go a long way toward helping kids transform into the favorite
characters—and practice fluency and comprehension at the same time.
Print out a colorful crown, a top hat, and more. Glue the cutouts to wooden
skewers or dowels for kids to hold as they read from a favorite story. A
jar of rice makes for easy storage when you aren’t using the props.
