CPALMS is an online toolbox of information, vetted resources, and interactive tools that helps educators effectively implement teaching standards. It is the State of Florida’s official source for standards information and course descriptions.
From FLDOE site - but also a site that we live by in 5th grade at my school. Gives access to sample FCAT questions based on standards, as well as videos and other resources online that can be used.
Great teacher resources for all grade levels. Includes lesson plans for each subject area based on standards, free printables, virtual manipulatives, and a scheduling component.
This is by far the best site the DOE has to offer. The curriculum maps are easy to design and there is a plethora of lesson plans for each standard for every grade level to work with. This is especially nice when you have little resources from your district!
This seems to be the go to site for teachers right now. I use this a lot to help me with my lesson plans and to find out what technology resources are available.

I love this site. I used this last year for classwork, homework and projects. One of the difficult parts of teaching is assuring that students are graded fairly on assignments. Grading projects is a snap with a good rubric. Not sure what to fill in to make a rubric, no problem. Rubristar has pre-made rubrics you can use. ;)
A very useful tool for middle school and high school teachers, and maybe even later elementary grades. Not very useful to me as a first grade teacher, but when students are asked to do research papers, and they start citing Wikipedia as a reliable source, teachers should utilize this. :)
For any middle/high school teachers who plan on having their students write research papers - to avoid Wikipedia and other unreliable sources students may find via simple Google searches. :)
