I just love technology — especially when it fails!
The idea submission hasn’t been working for a few weeks — so if you submitted an idea and did not get a response, that means I never received your ideas.
So, if you would like to submit them again, the form is now fixed and available. Send your ideas!! I miss getting them and reading them! Thanks!

How Do You Organize Your Teacher Resources?
btcshop, classroom organization, printables 2 Comments »Someone emailed me a question that I myself have been pondering:
“I was curious to know how you organize your teacher resources and reproducibles. I have a huge file cabinet that is full of files and I have been considering putting it all in to subject binders. Is this a big waste of time? Any ideas?”
Tell BTC how your organize your resources and printables! Post your comments on the blog and the best responses will be featured in next month’s newsletter!
If your response is chosen, you will receive a free product from BTC - the Literacy File Folder Game! Make sure you provide your email address (it will be kept private!).
