It's YoutTube for Teachers!!! TeacherTube is a service that allows users, mostly educators to share educational resources (documents, images, audio & video files) for free. The sites has resources for classroom use, professional development, and even have some posted by students.

Very much like Blackboard only free. It's easy to set up and has too many tools to list here. Just about anything you can think of using for classroom management is here. Great tool and easy to set up.

This product is fabulous! I cannot say enough cool things about this toolbar. You highlight, put Post Its on it, change the colors of text and after you do all that they make a legend that explains the different colors and what you are trying to do.

This product will be useful to share with parents. There is not a need for it in my schooling environment because we have security plans in place already. It protects the students on the internet.
