"SupportBlogging! has been set up to provide an opportunity for students, teachers, administrators, parents, and others to help promote an understanding of the benefits of educational blogging."

This was sent by a colleague a few years back. It's a repository of digital media for classroom use and instruction.

This site is awesome! The New York Public Library has digitized some of their holdings and put them up. They're arranged thematically and can provide great primary sources for many different classes and disciplines.

In the '09 cohort someone came across this open source resources page. It's a listing of free webtools (like Joyce Valenza's) that you may find useful for your classroom. They're organized by use/purpose and they're all free to use unlimited in your courses.

For this creative projects you have you may want to direct students to this site. It has a suite of free software that can enhance presentations and even pave the way toward digital storytelling (if that's where you're looking to go).

It was once true that after the school day ended at 3:30, schools rarely, if ever, had any response to behaviors that occurred. However, now, everyone - policy makers, educators, and parents - needs to understand that education is 24/7 and any approach taken to mitigate and/or ultimately improve digital learning with students needs to start from that basic understanding of time and space. Efforts to empower must be community, parent and school-based. Read report, reflect and answer the following questions: What stage school do you think we are now? What stage school are we striving to become?
