Moving to a New Blog

After starting into this a bit, I realized the name didn't really fit what I wanted to do.  So, I am stepping to the side and starting a new blog.  I'm leaving ThriftyTechTeacher to my husband, a secondary business and technology teacher.  It may take him a bit to get going on it.  All my previous posts are still available at www.thriftytechteacher.com You can follow me now at this new blog at DillyDabbles.blogspot.com, which more accurately reflects me.  I hope you'll head down this new path with me.  
 Melissa, the former thriftytechteacher

Barnes and Noble Online Storytime

Here's another source of online stories.  Barnes and Noble adds a new story each month. The stories are generally read by the authors.  You can access all of the previous stories as well.

Storyline Online

I previously blogged about a site called We Give Books that has hundreds of books in an online format for easy projection.  Here's another site Storyline Online.  This site has several books in a movie like format with actors narrating the stories.  Beware, don't share the tooth fairy story with your class!

Writing Revision and Edit Cards

 I just posted some writing revise/edit cards to my TpT and TeachersNotebook stores.  For those of you that follow me, you can email me thriftytechteacher (at) gmail.com  and I'll send you the file for FREE.  I'd like to start getting more into the creating and sharing of teaching materials, we'll see how it goes.

Trying Blogspot

My original blog is located at www.thriftytechteacher.com.  It's currently on a wordpress account, and I have found that more options that I want are easily available on blogger, so I'm giving this a try.  For now, my posts will be duplicated on both sites.  My blogger site can be found at www.thriftytechteacher.blogspot.com.
