Wheelofnames.com: A Tool Teachers and Presenters Will LOVE Wheel of Names is a random selector tool that was designed for choosing winners/names. However, educators could use this for so much more! Ex. If you are looking for a digital spinner to add different writing prompts to go along with the book you can type in your prompts. Here is a minute long video of Gioavanna explaining this tool to me. How to use Wheelofnames.com

Storyboard Creator | Comic Strip Maker | Storyboard Maker This site is new and improved. I taught ComicStrip Maker years ago to teachers to have students create and collaborate with each other to make social skills stories. It is still free and easy to use.

We have many teachers taking advantage of some of the resources we have received via grants and other funds. Here is a list of Google Forms to sign out materials Do not forget we have BreakoutEDU Boxes and a paid license for each program. I just received a BreakoutEDU email that shared about the new November Featured Games of festive Thanksgiving themed games and coding games guaranteed to make your students gobble, gobble with excitement. BreakoutEDU licenses are for the online games as well as the games we create using the BreakoutEDU boxes.
