Charting the C's 2006

Had a great time at Charting the Cs. I wanted to quickly publish some of my favorite on-line resource I got from the conference. I'll come back and organize this stuff later. For now, I just need to get it posted....

http://www.eduscapes.com/tap/topic93.htm electronic books resources and links
www.tumblebooks.com - excellent but not free. You can get a 30 day free trial subscription
http://www.weread.org/kids/ - Just a few online story books and games. Not much here, but worth a look.

http://www.allkindsofminds.org/ptk/writingbasics.aspx - This is an interesting overview on the writing process from a developmental perspective. There are also a couple of cool demonstrations on how it feels to try and write with a disability.

www.unitedstreaming.com - a fee based service that has tons of videos, lesson plans, pictures and articles which can be used to build background knowledge and interest in topics for students to build literacy from. Free 30 day trial allows access to all the content. Check it out!

http://www.learningmagicinc.com/goodies/categories/lang.html - this is a collection of ready-made books for use with Intellitools studio or suite.
