Beat the bugs and set things right. JayCut – Online video editing. Edmodo – Edmodo is a private microblogging platform that teachers and students can use to send notes, links, files, alerts, assignments, and events to each other. All About Explorers – All About Explorers was developed by a group of teachers as a means of teaching students about the Internet. Because we wanted to make a point about finding useless information even in a site which looked at first to be fairly well put together, all of the Explorer biographies here are fictional. While many of the facts are true or based on truth, many inaccuracies, lies, and even downright absurdity are mixed in indiscriminately. As such, it is important that you do not use this site as a source of reference for your own research! Follow @explorers on Twitter. In Web Age, Library Job Gets Update – NY Times article about how the job of librarians is changing in the digital age. Faves Mancala FS5 ($FREE) – strategic thinking board game gone global (website).

Resources Newbie’s Guide to Twitter http://www.webware.com/8301-1_109-9697867-2.htmlGood beginner’s guide for anyone new to Twitter from Rafe Needleman whose name Anna dubbed in later because she had a flub. It’s a terrible edit. Painful. We’re human. Long Portraits http://photojojo.com/content/photojojo-original/long-portrait-video A quick and easy, but powerful example of digital storytelling. 30 second or less video of someone responding to a question. Great to take at the beginning of the year and then end of year, or from year to year, maybe with the same question each year, to watch the kids grow and change. Good for career days. Artsonia http://www.artsonia.com/ World’s Largest Children’s Art Museum MooURL http://www.moourl.com/ Web’s cutest URL shortening service. If you have a really loooong URL, just paste it in the text field, and they’ll milk it, creating a moourl for you. It lasts forever, It’s automatically copied to your clipboard, and It’s really cute.
