The Helpful Counselor is the blog of a former school counselor turned elementary-school teacher. The entries feature ideas and tips for promoting social, emotional, and behavioral development. Scroll through current and previous posts to find classroom management strategies and tips (some based on current Disney movies), observation and counseling forms for download, and posters and coloring pages. The Disney movie clips reside on YouTube. If your district blocks YouTube, they may not be viewable. You could always view them at home and bring them to class "on a stick" to share. Use a tool such as KeepVid, reviewed here, to download the videos from YouTube. Although some of the links lead to the author's Teachers Pay Teachers page, there are many free resources worth checking out.

Chalkup will be your "do everything" class management tool. Chalkup will do everything other learning management systems (LMS) do, and includes an emphasis on collaboration and student voice. View the video "Guided Tours" to see all the features. An impressive one is the class chat where teachers and students engage in real time. Also, Chalkup is very Google Drive friendly. It converts Drive files into the Chalkup LMS to post and assign text, images, documents, AND embed any HTML object in an assignment (quizzes, polls, and more). Grading is easy, too. There are numerical grades, and it is also possible to create rubrics for a document, short answer, and essay grading. Find tools to markup student documents with highlights, discussion points, and more. Student accounts look much the same as the teacher account, so it is easy to help them get around in the beginning. Students have the additional feature of looking ahead at future assignments, AND students can create discussions and post questions so they can get help from other students or the teacher. Chalkup works with any browser and has a free iOS app.
tag(s): assessment (108), chat (53), classroom management (153), homework (45), multimedia (62)
In the Classroom
Project the student page for Chalkup on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Once students are on Chalkup, they can use a course code to become a member of your class. Use the class chat for discussions, brainstorming, informal assessment, and many other response system tasks. Consider using class discussion at student registration time and while showing the students around. This way they can ask questions about Chalkup features. You can also sign students up via email. For ESL/ELL classes and world languages, use this tool for assigning various vocabulary words and learning tenses of verbs. Assign vocabulary and explain any basic scientific concepts in science classes, or facts about historical periods in history classes. Lab partners can present their findings, and math students can demonstrate how they solved a problem. For English, post assignments about grammar rules, sentence structure, and other elements necessary for good writing. Since Chalkup is an interactive and collaborative program, have literature circles complete write ups, discussions, and final presentations about the book they are reading using Chalkup. Soon you will be able to group students within a class. For now, a potential solution could be to create separate assignments for each group. Label the assignments in the Title by group name, i.e., "[Group 1] Project" (or book title) so that students know which assignment belongs to their group.Edge Features:
Includes an education-only area for teachers and students
Parent permission advised before posting student work created using this tool
Includes social features, such as "friends," comments, ratings by others
Requires registration/log-in (WITH email)
Products can be embedded

Of course, students will be graded on the accuracy of their information as well as their creativity. Think of it as inverse teaching. Have students extract the information (with proper credit of course) and create their tutorial using ePubEditor, reviewed here, or Zeetings, reviewed here. Prepare a rubric before you start or use our Rubrics to the Rescue to find one that shares your expectations for this project.

The teacher dashboard shows several different indicators of individual and class performance based on Common Core Standards. Add as many classes as you wish and switch easily between classes through your dashboard. Kiddom also includes several free math apps for K-2 students available for download through the iTunes store. Be careful, most are free; however, one is not. This program works using Gmail and Google Drive. There is a thorough FAQ section and several tutorial videos to help you get started. If your district blocks YouTube, the videos may not be viewable. You could always view them at home and bring them to class "on a stick" to share. Use a tool such as KeepVid, reviewed here, to download the videos from YouTube.
