This looks to be a robust assessment tool that allows teachers to track student progress. Some of the features include: a learning map that displays progres towards mastery of standards (CCLS aligned) and tools to support teachers in interpreting data. It also item analysis, grade-level stats and support tools that teachers can use to design interim assessments and more.

Sounds like the exercise has become about the tool, and the tool is meant to stand-in for someone who is putting the simplified/bulleted content in context.   Powerpoint is not the enemy, it's being misused as a replacement for rigorous critical thinking around complex issues.  It's a visual aide, not a complete platform for stand-alone communication.  

mapping tools, homework help, science & social studies research, games & activities.  the mapping tool is interactive, customizeable, downloadable, and impressive at first look. 

Amazing and overwhelming mind map of collaborative tools. I wonder what the implications would be if I showed this to a group of teachers?

Authors say these applications are, "technology every educator should know." Some new applications... I was impressed that the authors include alignment to NETS-T for each tool. We can share the NETS alignment along with the tool.

Excellent! Takes a while to search through, but there is something for everyone here and it's a good resource for us to find good new tools to use for in-school PD sessions. It's one of those sites you need to revisit every few months.

Government's newly released website on digital literacy resources. Also includes bullying prevention resources. Search tool for finding educator tools is a time saver.

Five screen capture tools to consider. Now all we need is a free one that allows for easy annotation of video screencasts.

This tool specifically investigates the workstation, network and server cost of ownership in the K-12 environment, providing an instrument and a process that schools and districts can use in determining their total cost of ownership (TCO) for technology:

Excellent list of emerging tools that are changing the landscape of learning communities.

Simple, easy-to-use storytelling tool. I was able to get something going in about 1 minute.

Accidentally found this awesome little tool. Take a look see.

A number of tools that we use and some we don't gathered in one site.

Searchable map of green house emitters. Great dynamic tool for science class.

Very cool - Thanks for sharing

Interesting tool that allows teachers to pull articles from the web and develop automated/customized lesson plans.

Atmosphir is a 3D game design tool that I learned about while attending Ed Camp NYC. You build with blocks, like stacking Legos, dragging blocks on the screen. This program allows the user to build an entire world (exploding platforms, keys, locks, treasures, spawning system) that you create from scratch.

I recently attended a session by Al Doyle at ED Camp NYC on game design. "We play, design, and we share," said Al. This is a powerful tool that pushes students critical thinking and promotes collaborative social learning experiences.

Nice web based tool for embedding slide shows into blogs, web pages, etc.
