As we further incorporate technology and online tools into content literacy. Here is a great set of tools/resources from Vicky Davis on using a wiki in your classroom. She even goes so far as to include a rubric, lesson planning ideas, and examples.

Create quick screencasts and share via twitter or embed. Quic, easy to use, great way of introducing basic software, functions.

Windows live Movie Maker, is even easier than it used to be. Great FREE tool for making videos with students.

Opportunity to identify potential funders for grants (small and large).

that over 700,000 historical images from The New York Public Library's Digital Gallery are now freely and instantly available whenever you're creating a VoiceThread. Our new Media Browser allows you to search or browse these primary source materials - maps, photos, drawings, paintings, posters and more, and then import them directly into any VoiceThread. Links back to the original location of the images on the web are automatically inserted to make citing and attribution easier for you and your students.

List of resources. Lots of options. Always good to look around and find any new resources I'm not familiar with.

Collection of Smartboard resources. Some of the resources are really good! Worth taking the time to look at and identify a few that would be helpful to you.

A discussion draft of the framework for the national assessment of technological literacy, the first to gauge students' understanding of and skill in using a range of tools, has been presented to theboard that oversees the testing program.

Resources from the department of energy and Discovery Education for use with STEM classes

This is the kind of graph that students need to be interacting with as much as possible. Great example of different ways of expressing data. I would love to see questions that students could write based on this kind of graph.

The North Atlantic Ocean has spawned more hurricanes and tropical storms over the last decade than it has since a similarly stormy period 1,000 years ago, according to a new study.

Good resource for adding bells and whistles to a wiki. Worth having in your arsenal, but recommended after you have your routine/purpose developed.

Interesting examples, put together in a nice google doc (always like when people share using the tool they are talking about). Great thing about this list is that it should continue to grow and improve if googledocs does what it 'says' it can do.

Here's the emerging Top 100 Tools for Learning 2009 list, where you can compare the rankings of the tools with the last two years. Note, by "learning" we mean both formal and informal learning.

Wink is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc). Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective tutorial for your users.

Simple tool, but easy to use and nice for building some quick examples using the IWB. There are other ways of doing it using Smartboard software, but kids can use this tool, create some examples, do screen captures, and share with each other or in docs.

Google comes up with yet another great way of helping new users (who happen to be teachers) to use their product. Create some templates, package them in one location with some tutorials, and make EASY to use! Yeah for Google.

GeoGebraWiki is a free pool of teaching materials for the dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra. Everyone can contribute and upload materials! All contents of this pool may be used free of charge.

Anything from NASA will be slick. I'm a little disappointed in the videos about proportion. A 2 minute video and the mathematics is washed over in 13 seconds, and on top of that it's all procedural in nature (cross-multiply) with no explanation as to why it works. Other resources look more promising to me, but hope NASA looks into doing a better job of incorporating more conceptual development/understanding/explanation.
