Hot Chalk - Bringing the world to the classroom via NBC news
So your kids
need to research current events or happenings decades ago? Enter in NBC News Hot Chalk that lets you (or your enterprising kid):
- Create customized assignments and lesson plans for all of your classes utilizing the NBC Video Resources
- Collaborate with peers, experts, authors, and master teachers through HotChalk’s Online Teacher Community .
- Supplement lesson plans with ideas and strategies from HotChalk’s LessonPlansPage.com
- Post class messages, manage your grade book, and search for quality resources in an easy-to-use environment built with teachers in mind.

And remember - it’s not just teachers who can benefit from this. When I run Camp Ling for my kids during the summer, I take advantage of all the educational tools online…and you can too! Give your kids that added edge in their academics - their college applications will thank you for it. 
ThankYouVeryMuch!
