tudents and teachers often operate on fast-moving, jam-packed schedules with lengthy to-do lists. Check out My Study Life, a free tool for students that allows them to incorporate complicated schedules (like that new rotating block schedule your school implemented last year), to-do lists, homework reminders, and more. My Study life works on Chrome, Windows, Mac OS, Android, and iOS; even better, it will sync across all of those platforms.

I like that this seems flexible and can be used across platforms. It was featured on Free Tech for Teachers.

Identifying, understanding and responding to emotions are very important skills for children to develop. These skills help us to develop relationships with others. This collection includes 50 superb, concrete, colorful images of the 10 most basic emotions. We’ve given 5 examples of each emotion to help your child or student generalize.
By adding clearly pronounced real audio and text we’ve added another dimension to traditional flash cards encouraging vocal imitation for those with emerging language skills. Classical music is also randomly played along with visual reinforcement to maintain your child’s interested while introducing them to the world’s most popular composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky.

magine someone telling you that a new technology would be available in five years that has the potential to revolutionise childhood and early education. But the downside is that you will have to choose from among 80,000 possible options. This is the problem currently facing many parents. Following the invention of the iPad in 2010, by January 2015 there were 80,000 apps marketed as “educational” in the Apple App Store alone

In case you missed it, the ClassDojo Idea Board small site featuring 25 ways to use ClassDojo. The Idea Board has four sections; getting started, connect parents, engage students, and tips. Many of the items on the Idea Board have been featured in other ClassDojo promotions, but now they're consolidated into one place.
