 Are your students reading their email but not the novels you've assigned them? Well, fret no more! Mix some great literature into their inbox with DailyLit and you'll have them "reading out of the palm of your hands!" The creators of DailyLit provided a solution for a world that constantly checks its email but "checks-in" with great literature less frequently. You now have the tools to get your students reading novels in serialized daily installments, helping them to tackle the great works in manageable pieces.

I just saved hours. It was time for me to clean up my "Favorite Links" section of the website that I maintain for my school. Admittedly, it is a section of the site that usually receives the least attention from me. I constantly maintain the lessons that I post on the site, as well as stay up on my weekly "Link of the Week." But the "Favorite Links" section sometimes grows dusty and suffers from "dead" links. It's hard to keep up with it, but I need a place to put links to the staple sites that teachers and students can easily access. |

Last time, I brought you the amazing site called Into the Book. This week, let's get "out of the book" and make some real-world connections with Google Lit Trips. (Note: you'll need the free application Google Earth in order for this to work).

There are sites that we love and then there are sites, that once discovered, we can no longer live without. "Into the Book" is one such site.

Perhaps, as H.G. Wells predicted, computers will someday be able to jettison us into the future, but certainly our students can journey to the past from the comfort of their computer monitor. This week I'll show four sites that can bring history directly to your students in engaging ways.
