Teachers learn, too!
As teachers fill AMS's computer lab in early August to learn about using interactive whiteboards with their students this coming school year, I am once again reminded of the dedication and caring our district's teachers continuously show. They strive to improve the learning environment for students and actively seek ways to increase their students' learning. Kudos to teachers who don't stop learning!

Wonder what your students will be doing this summer? Suggest they get inspired and entertained with this TED playlist of 10 videos for kids. You should watch a few of them, too!
TEDTalks can also be used in the classroom easily by using TED Ed which allows you to select a video and then create questions, notes and resources. Check out the Lessons library here: http://ed.ted.com/lessons where you will find video-integrated lessons like the one below. You can also create your own lesson by clicking on the Create a Lesson + link on the ed.ted.com/lessons page then adding your own links, questions, etc.
The following video is incorporated into a lesson. Click this link to see the embedded video with comments, questions, and more: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-do-americans-vote-on-tuesdays. Here is the video that was used for the lesson:
