Photosforclass.com includes built-in #creativecommons search engine. Great search engine for free images that include image citations. Safe G Rated images.

Search engine for images that have Creative Common licensing. It's always a good idea to educate yourself about the content you use. If you're unsure what Creative Commons is, or why copyright is important, take a few moments, find a few photos and and read the "License" information on the photo's page that comes up when you click "more info." The "more info" link is a great way to learn a little bit about the photograph, author, and various Creative Common's licenses, and what (if any) restrictions are applicable to that particular work.

Check out this search engine, which provides short videos on a multitude of topics. Great for younger students or struggling readers.

Fantastic resource that not only provides resources for teachers and students, but allows for CURATION & customized collections. This could be a great way to have students learn CURATION skills - an important digital literacy. Google Apps integration. 

The next generation of the graphing calculator. Using a powerful and blazingly-fast math engine, the calculator can instantly plot any equation, from lines and parabolas up through derivatives and Fourier series. Data tables open up a world of curve-fitting and modeling. Sliders make it a breeze to demonstrate function transformations. As browser-based html5 technology, the graphing calculator works on any computer or tablet without requiring any downloads.

This a search engine for free photos. These come from many sources and are license-specific. You can view a photo's license by clicking on the license icon, below and left of photos. Membership is free and allows you to rate, tag, collect and comment on photos.

"Yolink Update with Enhanced Search Engine-Special Guests: Brian Cheek, Ken Shelton, Lucy Gray 08/07/2010 Links for presentation: http://gl.am/e1kT4 *Plus page has additional links & resouces *I participated in this webinar and it is a good one hour training to get familiar with Yolink & Sweetsearch.

Wolfram|Alpha is a free online computational knowledge engine that generates answers to questions in real time by doing computations on its own vast internal knowledge base. Our long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. This can be valuable to educators in many ways. * This allows you to: interact with your results using sliders and controls; rotate and zoom 3D graphics and visualizations, and manipulate results directly in your browser. * "Sometimes being able to change parameters dynamically just enriches what is already rather complete output. But often, it's what really makes the output meaningful." Wolfram|Alpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers- not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, and methods.

Ready for the next generation of textbook creation that utilizes good pedagogy? Imagine a living, breathing, dynamic textbook that offers different assignments for each individual based on their learning styles, allows for student-created work to be posted and featured based on accuracy/creativity votes and having students all around the world discuss content and share resources in real time through an integration with Google's new social networking service Google +.  Imagine all of this in a new dynamically changing interactive living 21st Century textbook ecosystem. Brain Mannix  would like to use the Blackboard/Collaborate platform as an engine to bring students and teachers around the world together to make this happen. Check it out!

Giphy (a search engine for GIFs), created a code that makes GIFs actually loop on Facebook & Twitter. It works simply like posting a link to a video.
