I’ve had a couple of very busy weeks.  It seems like it has been a while since I have had time to share my Friday Favorites.  I hope you enjoy the resources I have managed to discover during small snippets of time.  Feel free to share your favorite finds of the week using the comment link found at the bottom of this post. Have a sweetheart of a weekend!

1. Gajitz Tech Evolution: 18 Gadgets that Used to be High-Tech – a fascinating look back…fun to show students. My how far we have come!
2. BooksShouldBeFree.com – the title says it all…”Your source for free audio books. Download one in mp3, iPod and iTunes format today.”
3. The State of the Internet – I’m always amazed by the statistics…this is a great YouTube video to share with students. Monitor it closely, however…some of the comments were not appropriate for student viewing despite the fact that the video was excellent in terms of content.
4. Evolution of Dancing – still the most watched YouTube video of all time…guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and memories from the past (unless you are too young to remember).

   Evolution of Dancing Part II – and of course…what would the top viewed YouTube video be without a sequel?
5. It’s official: An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs – a fascinating article that received over 7,000 comments.
6. Wisebread: How Much Caffeine Is In That? – so…what is your caffeine intake?
7. A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything – I continue to be fascinated by flip-books…amazing
8. Emerging Edtech: 100 Ways to Teach with Twitter – some great ideas and resources here.
9. 35 Activities Your Students Can Do To Learn Respect – some great ideas here for classroom teachers
10. Kathy Schrock’s Assessment and Rubric Information – you can always count on Kathy. I have used her rubric information for years. She has added new material recently that includes rubrics for Web 2.0 and more. It’s time to revisit this site, especially if you have not checked it out in a while.
