It might just be the mood boost you need. Here are 89 ideas for you. (Photo credit: <a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IPad_%26_iPhone.jpg" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>)</td></tr></tbody></table>When you use tablets and other devices, the nature of them requires you to be a <a href="http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2006/11/classroom-is-flat-teacherpreneurs-and.html">teacherpreneur</a>, or one who innovates, selects, and customizes your classroom.<br /><br />A great way to add interest to the classroom (especially while spring testing is happening) is to introduce or play with a new tool. You need a break of scenery and your students do too!<br /><br />Sometimes <b>it is what you need to grab their attention as you review something important. </b><br /><br />One thing is for sure, there is no excuse to hand them a boring worksheet. For this post, I've delved through my lists of apps, websites, and tools that I keep in Diigo to give you teacherpreneurs out there some things to play with! Enjoy and feel free to share your favorites in the comments. Note that many of these are apps, Ios, Android, and some are websites. Play as you learn, it is the best way!<br /><ol class="diigo-linkroll"><li>    <div class="diigo-link"><a href="http://blog.feedly.com/2013/03/14/google-reader/">Transitioning from Google Reader to feedly | Building Feedly</a></div><div class="diigo-tags">tags:                        <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/RSSFeeds">RSSFeeds</a>             <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/google%20reader">google reader</a>             <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/edu_newapp">edu_newapp</a>             <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/ipadchat">ipadchat</a>             <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/teaching">teaching</a><br /></div></li><li>    <div class="diigo-link"><a href="http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2011/04/15-fantastic-ways-to-use-flipboard.html">15 Fantastic Ways to Use Flipboard</a></div><div class="diigo-description">Flipboard is an excellent tool (now it has curated magazines you can distribute for your classes.)

You can mute and remove comments, it has a profanity filter and also a full transcript so you can go back and assess participation and weaknesses. You can set the chat to discontinue when you leave.  When I review for tests, I always like to use a backchannel because I can ask questions and we can document answers and the students can save as notes. This is a great tool.

She was furiously working with a somewhat beat up Galaxy Tab. I talked to her about what she used and she said that Handy Notes ROCKED. She got her Caseen stylus and showed me what she was doing and I loved it. She said that she had a whole semester's worth of notes. She took notes in this and went back to her dorm and printed off the notes so she could highlight and study them but that when she needed to review, she could. I have to admit, I was quite envious. There are some classes I took that I'd love to have in evernote. If you use a Droid, I'd recommend trying out handy notes.

Cookery school

2:55 AM Tukiyooo 0

A brochure for the Donnybrook Fair Summer Cookery School was dropped to my house this morning.  They are putting on a range of fantastic classes and I am very tempted to sign up for one or two.<br /><br />In particular I like the Summer Buffet class.  In this class you will "learn how to create the most amazing Summer entertaining food".  You will be taught how to make dishes that you can prepare in advance and that will keep well. What a useful and practical class - it aims to "take all the hassle out of entertaining".  Sounds good to me!!!<br /><br />Other classes offered will teach you how to make macaroons (yum!), bread, Summer salads and lots more.   <br /><br />For more info have a look on their website www.donnybrookfair.ie <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqN1tI6O3xt6HYta3Buq80pT6E308kVcLD8ZWOS9l8uAzFwbOn9aK8P4yAfE7EdjHYiZH_Z9XzWPDIkdBsjEuwxSAAkPGPsbbCy9J4RT7qUmU1IEtw4oJAhzBpMU0ZAEHbwsVsBUMewT_q/s640/blogger-image--497650438.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqN1tI6O3xt6HYta3Buq80pT6E308kVcLD8ZWOS9l8uAzFwbOn9aK8P4yAfE7EdjHYiZH_Z9XzWPDIkdBsjEuwxSAAkPGPsbbCy9J4RT7qUmU1IEtw4oJAhzBpMU0ZAEHbwsVsBUMewT_q/s640/blogger-image--497650438.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEW9Giqy1zniADW3t98F89s1Z-COVW8pJ_a8mBDEy42TwynUx1HTFUq6B8MX7wYF9y4y0uYIGOHzDgvh9xNGnXm058mChdUN7fo7rMtS6LOhw_Dj2okmgHHU3oLWfraB8246QG-fb5o8z2/s640/blogger-image-1973719664.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEW9Giqy1zniADW3t98F89s1Z-COVW8pJ_a8mBDEy42TwynUx1HTFUq6B8MX7wYF9y4y0uYIGOHzDgvh9xNGnXm058mChdUN7fo7rMtS6LOhw_Dj2okmgHHU3oLWfraB8246QG-fb5o8z2/s640/blogger-image-1973719664.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHYPpzlHAYj6QCfahX6uvHTJ5N8mWA-HAkWT-HdZyKH0W21fjX9V8OZkqa8zqLMPzl6NpFIUlyF49QDXxxEdjx6bcjFUIuimxmIeWSrGa84jH3Nmk-kXh-STGoME6DCbAGbZ04ufK-ZHj/s640/blogger-image--1692265510.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoHYPpzlHAYj6QCfahX6uvHTJ5N8mWA-HAkWT-HdZyKH0W21fjX9V8OZkqa8zqLMPzl6NpFIUlyF49QDXxxEdjx6bcjFUIuimxmIeWSrGa84jH3Nmk-kXh-STGoME6DCbAGbZ04ufK-ZHj/s640/blogger-image--1692265510.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjhOKca-Z8edFgLukMTmuqJyQODT876EGmpH5ebtUE2roqIvRzKfXxnnknWwg0CV6NIbt2pt-PqmcLdjS0zyX_X9-m2B3knlkqita6W_xap5c5Iz0X5XMS93gHwwU0DGnZ63_99PUGTja7/s640/blogger-image--68277139.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjhOKca-Z8edFgLukMTmuqJyQODT876EGmpH5ebtUE2roqIvRzKfXxnnknWwg0CV6NIbt2pt-PqmcLdjS0zyX_X9-m2B3knlkqita6W_xap5c5Iz0X5XMS93gHwwU0DGnZ63_99PUGTja7/s640/blogger-image--68277139.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoU9Nw_lKO-GdkmMg-liWvQ5froLlj0RMPPRJpgG7O2TVg-5mqWyhQg7o04aeBVLPvhbG6sGZ9S08xb6FTps3L57pC1wongEZwx8jjQh56bVGE1Hjks99UAWvrlhi-Vs0CgfMSg2VUXt28/s640/blogger-image--756133157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoU9Nw_lKO-GdkmMg-liWvQ5froLlj0RMPPRJpgG7O2TVg-5mqWyhQg7o04aeBVLPvhbG6sGZ9S08xb6FTps3L57pC1wongEZwx8jjQh56bVGE1Hjks99UAWvrlhi-Vs0CgfMSg2VUXt28/s640/blogger-image--756133157.jpg" /></a></div>

before and after: farmhouse kitchen

2:30 AM Anonymous 0

Are you there reader? It's me, <strike>Margaret</strike> Elizabeth.<br /><br />So of course I have to begin with an apology. I tease y'all on Friday and then leave you hanging. Uncool. I'm sorry. Life got in the way. But if it makes you feel any better, my tar and feathering is scheduled for 4 pm today. You can come watch if you like.<br /><br />Luckily I've got some good eye candy to make it up to you. Let's have a little before and after, shall we? Everyone loves a good makeover story.<br /><br />It starts like any good story does - a cute little family buys the perfect house. But the house has a dark side. Or, a dark kitchen. Oh the horror.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTphi4VfYNG-sIQdKsD_a9DT-ZzdKPvCKcB1q6zPBeYiOaSKEhjmz97lucIUmKTC5uGgHRbqITvGvqG32p5cAabc3xS5h_l_F3dkjhOD3Foa5CoUP2-onH9DQ3El1G5xbDGE91bT9bj5U/s1600/P6117366.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYTphi4VfYNG-sIQdKsD_a9DT-ZzdKPvCKcB1q6zPBeYiOaSKEhjmz97lucIUmKTC5uGgHRbqITvGvqG32p5cAabc3xS5h_l_F3dkjhOD3Foa5CoUP2-onH9DQ3El1G5xbDGE91bT9bj5U/s640/P6117366.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />Metal cabinets.
