My husband sent me this video yesterday and I just had to share it. I really want to try this!
This teacher pranks his students by using a projector to create the illusion that his shadow isn’t following him!

I had a request from one of my readers to create a Twitter template in SMART Notebook similar to the Facebook Template I shared in February. I’ve finished it, so here it is! Your students can use this template to create a “fake” Twitter page for a famous person in history, an athlete, or a character in a book. I’ve included an example page on Hank Aaron, and there is also a worksheet in the Attachments tab for you to use. This template can also be used to show students the basics of a Twitter page without having to access the site directly. I hope you can find many ways to use this within your classroom! Don’t forget to check out my Twitter and Facebook Guides for Educators as well.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to create Facebook and Twitter guides for educators in my district. They were released this week so I wanted to share them with you all! Click below to download them.
