Friday Finds

I missed last Friday, but I'm back this week with the following:

•  When I was born I was the  3,751,993,634th.  Where are you in the 7 Billion?
• If This Then That - I like this idea (especially the above recipe if Instagram, then Dropbox).  Brilliant!
• Don't you love infographics?  Then check out this creative and cool resume!
• Some food for thought:  About 40 percent of 2- to 4-year-olds have used a smartphone, tablet or video iPod, according to a new study by Common Sense Media. What do you think that means for educators?

For the classroom:

What Would You Hold?

• A fun short writing activity 7 to 1
• Speaking of writing, my students blogged What Would You Hold? and took the Two Picture Challenge.
• Tell your students about the ESL Library Blog with Mini Podcasts on iTunes.
• I saw my students looking up the word "occupy" in their electronic dictionaries, and knew I couldn't ignore the topic.  Here it is:  The Best Resources to Help Students Learn About Occupy Wall Street.

 I read that only 1 out of 100 readers actually comment on a blog.  I read blogs all the time and never comment.  Still, I'm curious:  Is anyone reading this?
