Magical Mondays with Melanie's Tech

1.  In honor of Black History Month, I feel it is important to recognize all the contributions to science, technology, engineering, art, and math by African-Americans.  Here is a list from A-Z of Black Inventors!  Thanks to these amazing individuals for all that they have given us!

2.  There is a really awe-inspiring picture book entitled, Through My Eyes.  This is an autobiography of Rosa Parks.  This would be a perfect read aloud for grades 2-5.  Students in grades 4 & 5 may be able to read it for themselves.  If you can get your hands on a copy of this book, pair it up with this hyperdoc!  To get your own copy of this document, just click on the image.

4.  Recently, Derek Adam was looking for a YouTube Downloader and I sent him my page with lots of links on it - including a link to a website to download a video from YouTube.  The original request went to all of Central Elementary and during that conversation, Emily Hawk, a kindergarten teacher also suggested a resource.  Here is another amazing tool called ViewPure!  It filters the ads from a YouTube video.
