Excellent resource for preschool teaching!

The Twitter search #edtech is a wonderful resource for technology and education.

This website is the National Association of Special Education Teachers. I think it's a great resource for special education teachers and general education teachers. There is information about conferences, professional development, IEP development, resources, special education law, and so much more.

Besides adaptable classroom activities, the newsletters from Random house are also good resources to keep.

TenMarks is an excellent resource to use for Math. This website is aligned with the Common Core Standards and provides students with excellent practice and understanding of each standard. The classroom teacher can sign her class up on the site and provide each student with a username and password. From there she can assign different problems for the class to solve based on the skills they are learning or have already learned. Each question has a video lesson and hints to support the students if they are struggling. TenMarks also automatically provides the students with an intervention or a re-teaching video if they continue to struggle with a concept. It also provides the teacher with reports on the progress of each student. This is something that my fifth grade colleagues and I started this year and it has been great!

A logophone's dream. While I would love to possess a revered hard copy in my classroom learning center, I would definitely have this site bookmarked.

This link to the Oxford English Dictionary is an invaluable resource for Middle School ELA and Secondary Ed English teachers. I can see it as a frequent "go-to" site for Student Researchers, providing more interesting content than a standard online dictionary. Because the OED is concerned with word origins, I believe it would be helpful in creating bridges with ELL students as well, giving them a chance to see the linguistic contributions their language has made to ours. Check out the link in the lower center column for teachers and students (resources and lesson plans).

Wonderful resource for learning how to podcast
