Almost a year ago, I wrote a post in which I reviewed the Flipboard app for mobile devices (available for iDevices, Android, Kindle, and Nook). Â I recently came across a great listing of feeds on “ToolZeit” that would be good to add to Flipboard for use in an educational setting. Even if you are not a Flipboard user, you might want to take a look at this collection, because they are accessible on the web and would be good resources for any teacher or parent who is searching for new ideas. Â There were several suggestions on this list, such as Kinooze and Tinkerlab, which were new to me. Â Many of them are sites with current events written in “kid-friendly” form, or sites that give ideas for projects. Â On Tinkerlab, I found a great new project that I hope to try with my 1st graders during our Japan unit. Â I could probably write a separate post on each of the sites recommended, but I will let you explore them on your own!
