September 11th, 24 Years Later. Never Forget. Take a moment. Do a good deed. I was in EMS for 22 years before retiring due to a back injury. One of my most memorable experiences was responding to New York City as a Paramedic in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I will never forget that experience. What I saw and did are still with me, as is a type of asthma from breathing the dust.

World Productivity Day is Monday, June 20th. Here is how I stay productive and organized using Evernote and some other tools. I am a huge Evernote user and fan. I started using Evernote back in 2009, have been an Evernote trainer, used the beta of Evernote for Education with my students in 2011, and am an Evernote Expert.

STEM careers are highly lucrative and in-demand - yet females and minority students are drastically underrepresented in the historically male-dominated field of STEM. To support this underrepresented group, Gosciencegirls.com are providing access to supplemental resources.

This is a great resource I just found out about. It has 45 great resources for teachers to use with their students. There’s a wide range of tools designed to support curriculum and help teachers and students achieve their goals. These are the top picks for school students of every age, due to their impressive functionality and simple integration into the classroom. Resources are organized by grade level, and have apps such as Minecraft, Google Arts and Culture, Flipgrid and many more.
