I'm a big fan of Universal Design for Learning and CAST (http://cast.org) tools. This is a great resource for instructional materials.

EdTechTeacher has a great lineup of free, live, webinars this spring: Teaching Physics with Technology, Ken Davis to talk about Teaching History, Carla Beard to talk about Building a Community of Readers, and more. Their archived recordings are also available from this page.

This article from Anthropology News discusses Prof. Michael Wesch's 2008 presentation at the Library of Congress - An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube. It is worth a read, especially with regard to the last statement, "

Since Google created its new image search, I've been really frustrated. To do an advanced search, you now have to scroll to the bottom of the page, go back to "basic search", and then choose advanced search. Typically, I look for this feature because I want Creative Commons licensed images that can be reused on either my blog or the EdTechTeacher blog. While I feel like I heard about Photo Pin before, I'm glad that I rediscovered it today - thanks to Richard Byrne at Free Technology for Teachers. This is a great resource for searching for images licensed for reuse.

Ever get stumped by a question? Explania may have the answer. Animations range from the history of football to the inner workings of the human heart. This is definitely a good resource and could be a good model for student technology projects requiring them to demonstrate understanding of complex topics.

This is a new search engine launched specifically for eBooks. As more people are easily creating ePubs, this could be a great tool.

This site has more resources than just Internet Safety or Cyber Bullying. The parent section is an excellent reference, as are the "homework helpers." To find the latter, search for "homework" in the search area, as they are not readily available. The weekly e-Newsletter is also a great resource, particularly for the parents and teachers of elementary/middle school aged students.

This blog, written by Bill Ferriter (NC Regional Teacher of the Year for 05-06) is also featured on the Teacher Leaders Network. He's a bit out there - hence the blog title - but has some really interesting thoughts.

I'll admit that this is a bit of self-promotion; however, since I redesigned the EdTechTeacher site, I've added a lot of resources. We also have some great webinars as well as an online course coming up in the next few weeks. Check out our partner sites, too: besthistorysites.net, thwt.org, and tewt.org.

A social network designed for educators who are interested in integrating social media and Web 2.0 tools into their classes.

A great set of resources regarding the implementation of social media in schools. Not only does it give classroom suggestions, but it heavily focuses on the use of social media for admissions, PR, and development.

This is an interesting program that just launched - a peer to peer school of ed.

Richard Byrne, award winning social studies teacher from Maine, posts 4-5 new resources every day. His blog is an amazing resource for finding tools to use in the classroom.
