Get the secure file sharing and storage solution used in over 4,000 educational institutions worldwide.

For $50/per user for a year, you can have all of the memory storage a student could ask for. However, I think $50 is a little high considering some of the other competition out there that is free.

Dropbox is a great tool that anyone can use! If you are using your phone, tablet or computer, you can just drag anything into the Dropbox and have access to it!

This is probably the most sacred image we remember as kids in pre/elementary school was learning about the Color Wheel. This is a great visual to truly understand the hot and cold colors and see how we can make our our colors by mixing some together!

This is a great visual for students who take wood technology at our high school to make a bird house as one of their projects. The image gives students an idea of scale and how everything should look once they cut out the wood and put the holes.

A descriptive visual can really help expand a students knowledge on how something is supposed to look or work. For example, in a science class, pictures like the heart shown above can be used for a regular class or advanced class.

This is a great photo that can show the scale of animals that live in different parts of the world.

Political Cartoons are great to use in any class but especially in social studies! I love using political cartoons in my class to see if students are able to determine the meaning behind the photos or cartoon. Students love to have class discussions on the photos and debate on the meaning behind them.

Can really get students to think about our country as a whole after watching this part of a TV show. What do you think?

I show this video when we discuss the executive branch. Students can’t believe how every minute of the day is scheduled for the POTUS.

I show the breakfast club  to conclude the end of the semester. This film is a 1980’s classic the addresses sociological topics such as socialization, culture, stereotypes, education, family, deviance, socio-economic status and cliques. Students also do a character analysis essay.

Schoolhouse Rock: America - I'm Just a Bill Music Video

The classic Schoolhouse Rock song "I'm Just a Bill." For more information, go to www.DisneyEducation.com.

I show this video in my civics class to show my 10th graders how a bill becomes a law. Even though this video is old, it still has great content that students need to know today!
