TECH TIP: Name Picker Ninja
At the site Name Picker Ninja, you enter in the names of your students and then when you hit GO, the ninja will randomly pick a name. Once a name is picked, you can remove the name from the list so that no one is picked twice. This could be a good way to pick groups, organize presentations, or vary who goes first.
BOOK TIP: The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko by Scott Stambach
This was one of my favorite reads of the summer. One reviewer called it The Fault In Our Stars meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and that comparison rings true. Ivan was born disabled as a result of post-Chernobly fallout and has spent his whole life at the Mazyr Hospital for Gravely Ill Children. Ivan is a witty and funny narrator, sharing the antics of the hospital staff and other patients. It is the arrival of Polina at the hospital that changes his life. A sweet, endearing read.
