Welcome back to the Roundup!  I hope everyone is having a good weekend!  Today we'll begin over at ideas.ted.com (thanks to Mind/Shift for also sharing this) with an excellent post entitled,"There's No App for Good Teaching" by Laura Moorhead.  The post outlines "8 ways to think about tech in ways that actually improve the classroom" and it is a wonderful and insightful read.

Next, John Hardison at Getting Smart has an excellent post on Project-Based learning, "Diving Into Project-Based Learning? Head These 7 Warnings."  He likens the experience of implementing PBL to skydiving, and includes lots of great resources, ideas, guides, video-cases, and suggestions for getting start with or improving your PBL practices.

If you've been using iPads in your classroom, you may have found yourself completely overwhelmed by the availability of resources and apps.  Educational Tech & Mobile Learning has organized Apple's most useful links on using iPads in the classroom to help you find some great new resources and ideas that you can put into practice.

If you're thinking of going completely paperless in the classroom, or at least taking steps in that direction, you might be interested in Edudemic's new post, "The Ultimate Guide to the Paperless Classroom."  They provide an awesome list of resources, suggestions, websites, and examples to help you get started.

As always, Free Tech for Teachers shares some wonderful new classroom resources:
  • PicMonkey + Thinglink = Interactive Collages
  • Handy Sheet of Google Search Modifiers
  • PhotoMath Could Change Teaching Math
  • The Most Popular Posts of the Week

Finally, EdTech Magazine has a new article on Google's new classroom management application, "Changes to Google Classroom Give Teachers More Control."  The article outlines the changes that have been made to the app, based on teacher feedback.  If you haven't checked out the app yet, you can explore it here


And that's it for the Roundup this week!  Thanks for reading, and if you missed the recent Bammy Awards for educators, you can find out more about who won here on their blog, or by checking out their video collection.  

For now, we'll end with an enjoyable infographic fromTutoring Expert on "How The Greatest Minds in Mathematics Changed the World."  Have a great weekend!
