Make over obsession

I am currently in a complete and utter obsessive state!
 
I decided that I would spend the time this summer to make over my TPT store.
 
That led me down a rabbit hole to my current obsessive state.
 
I thought I would share with you guys. You might find it interesting, especially if you are TPT sellers yourselves.
 
I downloaded my product list from TPT and copied the list into an Excel spreadsheet. For each product in my store I am doing the following things:
 
1.     I download it from TPT and check it over to see if it needs any updates.

2.     I decide if the product needs a new preview.

3.     I read the product description and see if anything needs to be added.

4.     I decide if it needs a cover page or not. In the past I have not used cover pages, but I started teaching myself how to use PicMonkey.com. Now I feel like EVERY product needs its own cover page.
I'm spending a LOT of time looking/creating on Picmonaey
5.     I save the TPT product link to an excel file that I found at: http://tptschool.com/teachers-pay-teachers-product-link-generator/

This automatically creates codes so that I can place hyperlinks in my product descriptions.

6.     I reupload the file and add hyperlinks to similar products to the product description.

7.     I save the made over product in a curriculum folder. I have not updated my Entire English Curriculum in two years, so I figured it was time.


I have been working nonstop the last four days and I am only about halfway through. 

Take a look at the updated cover pages I have so far!

Teaching Point of View with Video Games

Lego Rewards for VIPKid or GoGoKid

So I was looking at the facebook groups today and I saw a lady who's daughter made this for the GogoKid lesson "Apple and Banana" and I thought it was just great! :  Every slide (or every time a student does a good job) you could add a few more pieces to creation and have them guess what it is going to be!  I started looking up other simple creations that my students always talk about and compiled a short list below! (Each picture is clickable for instructions on how to make them) I am sure that if you have children you already have these Legos rolling around in your house somewhere causing havoc on your feet. However, if you are like me and don't have kids yet, you might need a little bit of a starter kit! Click the images below to see them on Amazon. 

Backgrounds for VIPKid and GoGoKid

Okay, so right now this is what my background for my VIPKid and GoGoKid classroom looks like: It's cute and it's colorful, but it is just kind of blah.  You guys! I just discovered the coolest thing! Photo backdrops! You can transform your classroom into almost anywhere in the world within seconds and for under $10! Look at all the options! (Click on the pictures to see on Amazon) Those are just some of the backdrops I found within a quick search. Which one do you think I should get for my wall? I have also been doing some research on lighting and I have heard that this is a pretty good setup. Anyone have any other opinions?
