6.7 Candidates use tools such as databases and spreadsheets for sorting, compiling, and analyzing data gathered from a variety of sources.

EditGrid is a free web-based online spreadsheet which allows you to create and share spreadsheets documents. You can collaborate with your team, publish your spreadsheets and even power them with external data. This really goes along with what we talked about in class this past time. It is very user friendly and would be great if you needed to work on a spreadsheet with someone else.

Candidates use technology to effectively communicate with students, parents, and colleagues.

This is a website where you can get links to a ton of helpful websites for researching projects including APA/MLA/Chicago formatting tips and dictionary/thesaurus. This corresponds with standard 6.7.

This is a fun website teachers can use to help their kids learn through song. There are so many wonderful songs ranging in grade level and subject. I think it is a great tool because many students can learn and remember lessons easier when there is a catchy song to go along with it. I remember learning the Presidents through a song (which is also on this website) and it has helped me so much in history classes. There is also a really cute song called P-P-P-Punctuate.

The newer rap song to memorize the presidents is really catchy! Hopefully that one will keep adding stanzas as more presidents come into office!

This link is for an excellent, free database for teachers to search or find literature appropriate to their students at different levels of the DRA (Developmental Reading Assessment). You can search for a specific book, or use the database to configure an appropriate list for your grade and DRA level. The website as a whole offers many other great features for educators as well, such as lesson plans and science projects. The database in itself however is a fun place to start when working with your own personal classroom library to the extent that you can be linked to Amazon to purchase a copy if you so wish.

This site has links specific to teaching history, social studies, geography. It has links to lesson plans, current news portals, research content, interactive time lines and most anything to do with teaching history. Endless resources for teachers and students alike. There is also a link available to send suggestions and was featured by the New York Times.

This is a picture that I have as part of thing 7 I would like to share. I really enjoyed flickr and opened up an account. I have only a few photo's of my family I am still learning all about it. Here is one I would like to share with my class.I hope I'm doing this right. I see we got something good going on here I would hate to jack it up.

6.1 Candidates integrate instructional technology to facilitate learning in their classrooms, to supplement instructional strategies, to design instructional materials, and to enhance hands-on experiences and problem solving.

Scitable is an awesome interactive resource for anyone who loves science. It is an online science library that has hundreds of articles, databases, and other resources. Whether you are doing research for a paper, or joining in on a discussion with experts or peers, Sitable is a easy to use web 2.0 site. It goes along with standard 6.5 in that it allows you to gather, sort, and analyze information while also giving you the ability to share what you have learned with others.

This website is a citation generator. It assists you in citing sources in any style you need (APA,MLA,Chicago,Turabian,etc)

6.4 Candidates use technology in their own learning process and to change their current educational practice. The Library of Congress Online offers a Teacher's Resource page that provides self-paced modules for professional development with completion certificate awarded, links to classroom materials that meet the educational standards of each state, lesson plans, a blog for teachers, and much more. I recommend completing the Introduction to the Library of Congress Module under Professional Development as a starting point.

Start interacting in a shared outline with group members on the web. It makes for hassle-free group meetings! This meets standard 6.4 because this site will change the way we interact with group members and collaborate as a class.
