A two-day ETTC course called "Finding an Evaluating Electronic Information"

A really cool way to look at your work in OneNote.  This add in allows you to see all of your pages at once from a "bird's eye view".

This add-in allows you to save any Office file directly into anywhere in any of your moodle courses

"Weather Underground - The Best Weather Site On The Web"

I think there was an article on this in Wired a few months back...

Yeah, I used to use weather channel all the time. They updated their site recently, and now it is too confusing. Weather underground has quick easy to get info and forecasts. Accu-weather has nice graphics from a teaching perspective.

Very neat website that converts files for you FREE. Upload a file to the server and tell it the format you want it converted to. In a very short time, you get an email and a link for your converted file

I've used this, too, and it's excellent. Very useful for saving Youtube videos that you may want to use in the future or integrate into Powerpoints, etc. I have found, though, that wait times for the converted file vary from 10 minutes to about 12 hours, so don't rely on it for next block's presentation.

This is an awesome utility that stores your favorites/bookmarks on a server and is constantly syncing what's on the server to what's in your browser. But more importantly you have access to all of your bookmarks wherever you are, you just have to log in. And when you get a new computer or try out a new browser you can download them into your new browser. And you can create bookmark profiles to keep personal computer bookmarks separate from Tablet PC bookmarks, etc. Not so much Web 2.0 but it's a Godsend! And your students can snyc their existing bookmarks onto their new netbooks!

This looks pretty cool!

This could be useful on Wikis or maybe blogs for kids to track who's looking at their work.

I could see Heather applying here.

Have not used this. Helps you create and monitor online tests. I wonder if this is quicker than a Moodle quiz?

Another twitter tool to help you find and follow people of the same interest

"5 Useful Apps for Learning Spanish with iTunes"

A student sent this to me from Yale. The American Scholar is a great resource. This suggests reasons for why students are not selecting English as their majors anymore.

English Teachers: To tempt you further to read this amazing article: "But we can, we must, do better. At stake are the books themselves and what they can mean to the young. Yes, it is just a literary tradition. That's all. But without such traditions, civil societies have no compass to guide them. That boy falling out of the sky is not to be neglected."

Great document with technology integration examples.

WOW! This looks like where we are now, or where we are headed??

This article looks at the changing definition and nature of friendship in the digital world. It reviews the effect that Facebook has on friendships and what it means to be a friend today.

Another interesting article from my Yale student on leadership and character today.
