180 Technology Tips is a great resource for educators. It sends out an email everyday with a 5 minute lesson on some aspect of technology. You just sign up using your email address and it does the rest. Topics include better web searching, Microsoft Word and Excel tips, email, toolbars, cellphones, and more. The site also has past lessons archived for you to look at. I found the lessons easy to follow and understand and recommend this to all teachers.
2009 Updated Academic Vocabulary is an initiative of Tennessee's Department of Education. The goal of this project is to provide teachers a list of common terms or phrases aimed at improving vocabulary development of students in Tennessee. Although there is no single best way to teach terms and phrases, Dr. Marzano's research and theory on vocabulary development does point to a few generalizations that provide strong guidance. This site is dedicated to the sixth step in that process by providing a collection of games and activities designed to review and strengthen vocabulary development.
