FAMILY TREE

This post is for Hollie in hopes that she might be able to use one of the many features of classtools.net with her first graders in creating online family trees. If so, they can either be printed out or uploaded to a class blog or website. I'll be glad to help you if you don't know how. Hope you can use this.

SNAP.VU

Tired of having to repeat a URL for students a dozen times or having them type in an incorrect URL because it is so long?  Well shorten those URLs with snap.vu.  Just register for a free account and start shortening those web addresses.  Snap.vu keeps them on file for you so you don't have to  remember them all.  Try it just one time and I think you'll be hooked.

But wait a minute, that's not all it does.  It also creates QR codes which will be so useful whenever cell phones are allowed to be used in school.  That is, if they happen to have a QR reader app.  Don't know what QR codes are or how they can be used in education?  Check out this post:

There's also another website for creating QR codes that give you lots more choices.  It is:
