Nonfiction and the Common Core

I ran across this publisher brochure for using informational texts in the classroom and it has a lot of great titles. The majority of the books in the grades 4-8 and grades 7-up are in our library. Let me know if you are interested in any of them. 

Nonfiction and the Common Core: a resource guide to using informational text in the classroom

Infuse learning

I ran across a free service, Infuse Learning,  where you can create assessments on any device- including a regular computer- and then through use of a virtual classroom, give them to your students to complete using any device.

Questions can be multiple choice, true/false, short answer, or even take the form of a drawing!  Check out the Snapguide below or for more resources, visit Infuse Friends on Pinterest
