Some ideas and links from Episode 25...
1. Google CS First https://www.cs-first.com/
Teach students to code and program, for free, with Google's foray into coding instruction. You can start clubs (as many as you want) and help students step through instruction. Clubs are available in a variety of themes, such as music, art, and game design, that are designed to capture a student's existing interests.

2. Flowstate http://hailoverman.com/flowstate
The most dangerous app in the world??! An app for Mac & iPad that forces writers into writing without stopping. If you stop, after a few seconds all your work is gone! Love unique ideas!
3. RedCritter https://www.redcritterteacher.com/home
An online service that reminds me of ClassDojo where teachers award students award points. It can also be linked to House points.
4. Twitter in History
A unit on Aztec's and Inca's - students signed up for a Twitter account as one of the characters they were studying then tweeted and responded to others as that character. Nice!
