Tons of links to technology resources.

WOW, there are so many links on this page. This resource would be helpful for anyone who is interested in using technology in their classroom. I was most interested in the fact that some of the sites were already ear-marked for use with smart boards. Some of the sites were practice sites for kids to use at home. I will be adding those to my parent wiki once school starts.

I am also very happy to see all the activities involving smart boards. Our district is purchasing them for many of our classrooms and I will share this resource with staff next month!

Language Arts Journal Writing. Classroom newspapers. Autobiographies.Insert student photos in a biographical poem. A great way to start off the year and get to know your students. Demonstrate vocabulary, emotions, compare/contrast. Use a photo as a prompt for narrative or descriptive writing. Students take pictures of each other and import them into a word processing document for an "About the Author" page in a student anthology. .Use the digital camera to take photos of students then incorporate the photos into interviews written by other students in the class. (Students are assigned someone to interview and write about.)

This page is a summary of different types of mobile technology and how they are being used with Web 2.0 tools.

Diigo in the Classroom

Bloggins is the web 2.0 tool that I like the most. I can think of ways that I could use it for guidance class and computer class. I think it's interesting to see how other teachers use it. If I come up with good ideas, my school may take the block off of blogging!

This website has research-based practices and translates it into practical tools to improve classroom instruction. You can learn what works, understand the research, see what works, see it actually in action many times in the classroom through video, and do what works, download tools that can support the work. This is an awesome sight for educators! This site has many things that teachers could use to learn about and hone in on their instructional practices. It is a great springboard for learning and then using some web 2.0 tools to provide opportunities to collaborate with teachers either within their districts or in other districts would be a powerful learning tool.

Create multi-media slide shows that contain images, documents, and video. Comments can be left on each slide in 5 different ways. his could be use with students to create all kinds of presentations and ways to display their learning. They could video tape a science lab and then use this to narrate their learning as they go through the video. Teachers could use this tool to video their classroom and then collaborate with one another using this tool. The collaboration could take place with teacher from different districts, states, even countries.

Great website for reading resources.

I am using this resource to help me implement a new 90 minute reading block in my classroom this year. It gives resources for use with parents as well as things to use in your classroom. There are printable schedules and activities for use in planning and teaching reading.

This is a great link to so many resources including several blogs that I just added to my googlereader.

Free calendar sharing site which would be helpful in organizing assignments and sharing future classroom plans and activities. I would use this to share upcoming events and news about my school library program particularly with parents and staff.

It includes a project environment where teachers and students engage in collaborative learning; a competition space where students participate in website development contests; and the award-winning ThinkQuest library, a learning resource visited by millions.

The community for educators using Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies!

This is a blog from Kerry Turner with links to some Web 2.0 tools that we haven't learned yet. I think I could use one in particular in my classroom- "The Whiteboard Blog" which experiments with the use of Web 2.0 applications.

This is a powerpoint presentation that gives great ideas on using wikis in the classroom.
