This article was a reading assignment for the Science Teaching Methods course I'm also currently taking, and I thought that it had wonderful connections to Constructivist learning and the inquiry model, so I thought I would share. It has some good information and insight all the way to the end!

Great Bloom's Taxonomy Resource.  Presents interesting approach.

Geography game that also teaches web searching. Teenagers love it.

I found this to be a super fun interactive website!

Love this!

Not quite a multi media site, but an interesting article and video on students in an independent classroom. teaching themelves and sharing their perspectives

Bringing multimedia into the classroom is a great way to engage students in learning. Supplementing lessons, opening up new interests, and offering inspiration, online videos make for an incredible teaching tool. In 2010, we covered our favorite 100 video sites for educators, and we've now updated our list for 2012 with more than 100 resources and more than 25 brand new entries.

Found this website through a teacher friend of mine. She gets many of her graphics from here.

This is a great tool for all of my math people! Creating interactives is a little bit tricky, but a quick search will give you ready-made interactives to enhance your lessons. I have used these with a lot of success for teaching transformations of functions and have created activitites to go along with them.

This website is very helpful when looking for ideas to do in the classroom. There are activities for every age and subject. Some cost money and many are free. I've really enjoyed the things that I have found on this site.

This website has a lot of links to math resources for the classroom ranging from virtual manipulates, to educational videos.

This is a neat classroom poll app. You should check this out.

This would be a great thing to use for a quick survey of how students are doing with new material. I just wish my school had a better WIFI connection.

I agree with @areinsburrow that this app would make for a great survey for seeing how students are getting along new material. Using the Marzano learning scales (4-1) is a quick way of gauging understanding, but it would be nice to have something tangible to document individual students' understanding of lessons that way teachers can track their progress. Sometimes in my classroom I feel as though I reach some students too late when teaching new material, and it's hard to catch them up during small group or one-on-one instruction. This is app is a good, anonymous (to others, not the teacher) way of assessing student understanding.
