This sounds like an interestig (ambitious) reading project: read book about each of our presidents!  Here’s the link to the project which includes a list of the presidents and suggested titles.

In the spirit of supporting our next President, I think I will start with Abraham Lincoln.

WHat I like about this tool is that you can use a computer and projector to present information – i.e. you don’t have to have a whiteboard (which I don’t).  When drawing on Dabbleboard’s canvas, it can automatically recognize the shape you are drawing and clean it up for you.  For example, your rectangles are nicely squared and your lines straightened.   You can also turn this feature off to create freehand shapes or drawings. It is easy to add text to any drawing or diagram by simply typing it in. Go directly to Dabbleboard or watch the tutorial I have embedded below.

And, thanks to Charlie, my 14 year old “digital native” son who refused to use the Fountas and Pinnell Leveled Books for Readers text, I discovered a number of virtual leveled-books databases that make book leveling much less painful.
