“Pocket” is a web 2.0 tool that allows us to save articles, web pages, images, videos, and everything in between to one convenient location. Essentially, it is similar Google Drive; except instead of saving your own work, you are saving items you like from anywhere on the web. It can be used in the classroom by saving articles and videos  for a lesson right to Pocket. You won't have to surf the web during class, and have everything in one quick and easy location. For a more comprehensive video on how to use it, there is a longer video here , The one below offers a brief overview.

A common problem exists in many school districts, YouTube videos that teachers love are not able to play in their classrooms. When safe viewing is turned on, many YouTube videos are blocked that do not hold any inappropriate content. Other districts have the controls wide open, which expose their students to content that is not suitable.  Set up YouTube video approvals in your district to get at the content you want and block the content you don't need.  A little pre-planning  and communication is all it takes.

Take a tour of timelines while walking through your school.  Watch how one school achieves this rich experience.

This video shows how to create threaded bolts and nuts suitable for 3D printing and a demonstration of how they work once printed. If you are trying to figure out the process for making screws and threaded designs  in 3D design programs, this video will explain the process.  The learning curve is not too steep, but take note that designing will take some time.  This type of design element is perfect for designing geocaching containers.
