First Book Canada - Free Books

First Book Canada is a program that gives access to new books for children in need.

This has been a great program for students in need.

In the United States, educators can now  receive free access to Open eBook by signing up with First Book. These free ebooks can be accessed on iOS or Android devices.  Through the Open eBooks app students can access up to ten books at a time.  You can find all of the qualifications for the Open eBooks program here.  Hope that this comes to Canada.  I mention this so that you can keep an eye out.

Wizer me -- Create interactive writing sheets

wizer.e is an interactive digital worksheet.  Teacher create an assignment and assign to their class.  It can be distributed to your students through the use of a link and pin system and through google classroom.  It is a good site for finding, creating and sharing worksheets for all subjects and levels. 

Teacherstechtoolbox.com states that “teachers can use wizer.me as an opening/closing class activity, or as homework.  When creating an account, the system does not ask if the user is a student or a teacher, so the students are able to create these digital worksheets as well.  This is great for students to show mastery of content.”
