How to Make Items That are Easy to Cut!
Cutting out lamination can be such a pain... but if you make your classroom games/signs yourself, you can actually make them incredibly easy to cut! the cards that I have in the preview only took me three slices to cut out!
Here are the poll results!
Now onto the tutorial!
As far as cutting the lamination, I also recommend getting a nice paper cutter. I have one like the one below, which seems to cut nicely through cardstock/lamination.
As for next weeks tutorial, Im going to add something a bit more specific... how to make your own cut/paste items in powerpoint!

This tutorial was by far the most popular on the poll this week!
Before I start the tutorial, I just want to take a quick moment to think about all the lives that were lost eleven years ago today. Being from NY (north of the city), the attack really hit close to home. Two weekends ago I went down to the city and saw some of the new towers that theyre building. Theyre absolutely amazing, but its unfortunate to think of the events that led us to the new construction.
Im sure you already have already, but just take a moment to think about the lives that were lost.
Now, heres the tutorial for the week...

How to Make a Collage of Words in Any Shape!
You probably wouldnt believe me if I told you that at 2:00 this afternoon, this post was almost completely written! Then... I got sidetracked for eight hours (doing something fun and exciting for a friend... a surprise)! Now, here we are again, posting the Technology Tuesday post so close to the stroke of midnight that its almost a Technology Wednesday post!
Regardless, I am SO excited by being able to blog about How to Make a Collage of Words in Any Shape! So many people know about Wordle which lets you make awesome "word clouds," but today were going to play around with a fun website called Tagxedo, which in my opinion, is like Wordle on steroids!

Im having such a hard time figuring out what to add to the poll! For now, Im going to add one of my ideas, but after I pick a winner for Part 2 of my 500 follower giveaway, Im going to start using some of those ideas in my poll!
In the meantime, I think Ill add a Blogger tutorial, how to add a "Pin It!" button to your blog!

Make Cute Center Cards Easily!
The other week I posted a tutorial on how to make your own center cards, and I realized that each time I make center games I always start from scratch! I figure it would be much easier to make my own cards if I had a super cute template for them... so I took one of my cutesy frames and reformatted it 24 times to make it fit perfect in 24 different sized center card templates! It was well worth the effort since I think I made a million new cards already! (Okay, okay... I only made a few sets... but it took way less time than usual!)
I have these cards up on TPT, and theyre on sale today only for 20% off! In the meantime, the first two people to comment will win them for free!
