Thing 16 ~ Time to Explore!

"Select one of the following tools to explore..." One?! Oh geez! How do I limit myself?

(Answer: Remember the time it took to digest all of the educational blogs. LIMIT! Choose ONE!)

My top picks were easier to narrow down than I dreaded. "Remember the Milk" seemed up my ally, but I did not want to create an account. (One of the Google Templates is a password organizer. I need one to keep up with all of these different online accounts!)

Drum roll please............................

Google Templates

Ta-dah!!

I like how Google Templates can be organized by subject matter, format, popularity, etc. I finally noticed I could do a general search too. There were ones that are valuable that I do not need (lesson plans, scientific articles) and some that I have but appreciate the clean copies (Venn diagram, story map, etc.) The winners, however, are the Facebook activities! Here are the links.
