Developed specifically for Chemistry: The Science in Context, this student resource reviews chapter concepts. Animated tutorials help students visualize dynamic processes.

Review as to what is being done to prepare teachers to use technology.

bsorb is a series of interactive online courses for secondary schools, covering physics, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and advanced physics. Our unique simulations, interactive animations, and videos, are linked by an involving narrative, providing the basis for an interactive learning experience. Each title offers a huge amount of interactivity - ranging from simple animations that show hidden concepts, to powerful models that allow flexible experimentation. Each title is well-suited to self-study or review, or provides a framework to teach in front of the whole class on a whiteboard.

This site is a tutorial site with a glossary of terms and example problems for the student to review the different types of angles.

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.

Book review podcasts from high school students.

"Using podcasting, I have taken low-level readers and have excited them about reading and sharing what they read with the world. The Fireside Book Chat Podcast contains student reviews of self-selected books. A take on the old-fashioned book report, the podcast provides students with an authentic way to learn because they do it not just for themselves nor just for the teacher, but for the world. "

Both of these presentations are excellent. If you have whiteboard or clickers in your school or use promethean software you will learn so much from Deb Pickerings presentation. I recommend that everyone take time to review these archived presentations.

Here is the link for the PDE conference 2010 keynote speakers. Deb Pickering was excellent. I haven't had a chance to view Doug Reeves presentation yet but Pat Kennedy said it was good.

"In 2006 CFSD convened an advisory committee of business leaders, entrepreneurs, university personnel, students, parents, and teachers to consider the knowledge and skills our students will need when they complete their K-12 education. Their work, along with a rigorous review of pertinent research, forms the basis for our 21st century learning framework."

Just what your overworked teachers were looking for! A way to submit their lesson plans for review and publishing on SAS. Hooray!

Whether you are new to the computer, returning for review or just want to gain more 21st century skills, our free computer tutorials can help. From Computer Basics to Microsoft Office to Facebook, we have a wide range of free computer tutorials to choose from.

The International Journal of Mentoring and Coaching in Education (IJMCE) publishes cutting edge research and substantial in-process reports and theoretical accounts of mentoring and coaching in educational contexts, including schools, colleges and universities. IJMCE provides overviews of how mentoring and coaching are evolving as well as circulating critical engagement with theoretical and practical issues. It enables insights into variations in mentoring and coaching on a global platform, evidencing their situated nature and generic characteristics as well as reporting on emerging issues in mentoring and coaching theory and practice. This unique journal highlights what is recognised as effective practice in specific contexts, as well as evidencing why this is so and discussing possible transferability to other contexts.  IJMCE regularly features informed reviews of mentoring and coaching publications and provides conference reports from events that have global significance.

Some very nice resources for study skills, math reviews, and group work. All of the resources I looked at are excellent.
