Greetings!  
 
The hottest news on the street this month is an amazing article in the New York Times that garnered the attention of the Gates Foundation, Governor of Florida and NBC News. Read the article online or download the the pdf version!
Running Records 
Did you ever do a running record and wonder if you accurately diagnosed the miscues? Not anymore!
 
Either print the running record form on a piece of notebook dot paper or devise your own system of annotations while recording a student's read aloud. Replay the audio by simply tapping on your notebook. Adjust the playback speed to accurately diagnose the miscues if necessary.

Classroom Walkthroughs 
Do you do classroom walkthroughs? There's no better way to track snippets of classroom instruction than the Livescribe Smartpen.
 
If you have a specific form your district uses print it on a piece of notebook dot paper. That's right! You can rip the paper out on the perforation and just send it through your printer! It's that simple.
 
Now when you jot down notes you can also record what is happening in class so your notes are linked to specific examples of classroom interaction.
Echo Pen

The Free Pencast Player for the iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone was released September 10th. The app enables you to access a digital copy of your synchronized notes and audio as pencasts. Now notes and audio from critical meetings or lectures are portable and playable when you need them. If your school has started using iPod Touches with students this free app gives students access to instruction anytime, anywhere to review and practice!
