TeacherMade is wonderful resource for easily converting old resources (i.e. worksheets, PDFs, Google Docs i.e.) into online activities. TeacherMade is very user-friendly, and once a user uploads their document, they can then add a question to make it an interactive assignment. Best of all, TeacherMade has a built-in-grader that saves teachers time and makes it easy to assess student learning and differentiate instruction.

Dystopia 2153 is an innovative new site for coding/programming that I just found out about from Monica Burns. Dystopia is a fresh take on teaching STEM skills by helping kids learn how to code through a digital graphic novel w/ over 40 different coding games. Also, for those that like "traditional" graphic novel a print version can be ordered. I highly recommend checking out Dystopia 2153 by clicking here !!!
