TECH TIP: Participoll
Participoll is a free add-on that allows you to embed live polls into your Powerpoint presentations. You create the poll in Powerpoint, then during the presentation, you have it go live. You give students the URL to vote. No clickers required, students can use any internet-connected device. I'm going to use this as an exit tool for a class that is finishing up research to get feedback on which research tool they found most useful. I'll let you know how it goes! But this looks like a fun one to explore.

BOOK TIP: Top 10 of Everything (2015 edition)
This book reminds me of reading through the Guinness Book of World Records as a kid. Updated to include items from 2015, this book lists - as the title states - the Top 10 of Everything. It covers everything from the Animal Kingdom (#1 Endangered Animal: Wondiwoo Tree Kangaroo) to Music to Humans and Nature (#1 Heaviest Human Organ: Skin).
