Recommended by the Johns Hopkins University Library site about verifying web-based info sources

Search tools, hoax web sites, search engines, etc. EXCELLENT

Spell with flickr is a neat app that allows you to create banners or other text with flickr images. Perfect for embedding in wikis or using on blogs or other Web sites.

Nice site full of interesting articles old and new--non-fiction

a new site about teen-dom from one of the coolest teen bloggers on the net. This post about surviving high school would make a great project for my seniors ( for underclassmen)

Wow. Great free site where you can create polls and online quizes. They can be embedded into your website and voting can be restricted to one vote per person. Lots of great possibilities.

My students told me about this site where they make study guides and flash cards for themselves. It's free, and it would be particularly good for studying information that you have to memorize.

Thanks to you - and your students - for the tip!

Great visual - would love to see it paired up with samples of uses.  Currently using Google Sites to Apply knowledge gained from reading with my 8th graders

Educational site for teachers & students to use Twitter in class.

Problems with CC media literacy standards: " focus marginalizes uses of a range of other media/digital literacies associated with social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, digital images/videos, smartphone/tablet apps, video games, podcasts, etc., for constructing media content, building social networks, engaging audiences, and critiquing status quo problems.And, other than a mention of the need to "evaluate information from multiple oral, visual, or multimodal sources," there is no specific reference in the common standards to critical analysis and production of film, television, advertising, radio, news, music, popular culture, video games, media remixes, and so on. Nor is there explicit attention on fostering critical analysis of media messages and representations."

Companion site for THE DIGITAL WRITING WORKSHOP and CRAFTING DIGITAL WRITING

This is a fantastic site!

This is a nice collection of literature arranged by various theme groupings. When sitting down to write curriculum, it may come in very handy.

Thanks Patrick! It's an extraordinary site for media studies as well as literature.

A virtual classroom that combines multiple platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc...) using a teacher and student-friendly interface. It looks promising for the ELA classroom, although my concern would be the openness of the site, although it does look like privacy settings are available. Possibly best used with older high school students?

Students often expect their teacher to correct their written errors, but students can also learn a lot from looking for and correcting errors in written work. This activity gives you the chance to test your correction skills and find errors in short texts using a site called BookOven and a tool called SpellChecker
