I was surfing the web today and decided to sign up for a StumbleUpon.com account because my brother was telling me how addicting it is. The website is free and is really neat! I would really recommend it to anyone, but in regards to teaching, there are some great tools that you can “stumble” across. When you sign up for an account, you can choose from hundreds of topics that you find interesting by checking off the topics you’d like to find websites for. Some of the topics I chose include literature, poetry, writing, graphic design, humor, books, multimedia, recipes, photography, and many more. I’ve found a few good resources so far and hope to find more great ideas through this website. All you have to do is click “stumble” and the site will automatically bring up a new website related to any of the topics you’ve chosen. Here are some websites I came across that I can most likely use in the future:
http://www.languageisavirus.com – creative writing games, how to cure writer’s block, writing prompts, poetry, and more!
http://www2.hn.psu.edu/faculty/jmanis/assign/e50xs2.htm –creative writing exercises
http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehack/fifty-50-tools-which-can-help-you-in-writing.html – 50 tools that can help you in writing
I also found something that I will probably use to kick-off my ten day unit on commas and punctuation:
