This article highlights several free online resources that can be used to enhance project-based learning for students. Resources such as Google Docs and Dropbox may be widely known already in this class, but others include LiveMinutes, ShowMe, and GimmeBar. I found this on Education World via the publisher companion site to our textbook.

In The National Geographic Kids Blog, a group of kids selected by the National Geographic staff share their thoughts and experiences. This is a great blog for kids to follow and be able to read about things that interest them and what other kids think. Teachers can use this as a resource to introduce kids to safe and educational places on the internet that are interesting to them as well. I found this in the "Online Safety" section of Kids.gov, accessed via the publisher companion site of our textbook.

Thanks for the website! It's a great resource for students to use. Im saving it to my Diigo account too. -Lisa

This link provides information about applying to Department of Defense teaching positions both in country and internationally. I am currently applying to work with dodea.

The "7 Things You Should Know About..." series provide quick reads with concise information about emerging technologies and practices. The Campus-Wide IT section addresses professional challenges in higher education, while the Learning Technology section discusses individual technologies or practices. I could bookmark at least a dozen of these relevant articles (microlectures, social content curation, educational design research, e-readers, cloud computing, and so on), which is why I'm saving the main page instead.

My interests in instructional design as well as online/distance learning led me to read this article by Dr. Thompson. 

Great wiki for educators looking for iPad resources...I downloaded a few already and they are great!

The Scholastic website @ http://www2.scholastic.com/browse/home.jsp is a wonderful website designed for students, parents, and teachers. This website contains reading lesson plans created for student's prekindergarten through twelfth grade. This website a contains numerous resources including reading pintables that could be used in a classroom. I would highly recommend this website for students, parents and teachers.

WOW, I found this site with full of iPad resources of Digital Storytelling, wonderful! This site contains Apps for Digital Storytelling, resources for iPad and much more information! Love it.

I thought this was interesting since last week a lot of our complaints were the budget. I am still searching through the 320 page document, but it seems that our request for technology went down this year from last! Like Dr. K said though, "don't complain about what you can't change!"

This is an interesting look into the process our test-makers and standard-setters go through when evaluating content requirements of the FSA and determining what makes a "passing" score. I would give anything to have been able to participate in this panel! I can't imagine what kind of insight those attending back in 2015 received about the "mysterious" FSA test.

"Innovative Methodologies for 21st Century Learning, Teaching and Assessment: A Convenience Sampling Investigation into the Use of Social Media Technologies in Higher Education"

Nice information I enjoyed reading the abstract and wondering how I could adapt some of the ideas for my workflow within education.

This is a great article about hidden features in google docs. I use google docs quite a bit and this was very useful.

The potential of digital storytelling realized. I will be setting my DVR for this film on PBS.

eInstruction Workspace (comes with the Mobi, but I use it all the time instead of PowerPoint) Livescribe Desktop (free, but without the pen there isn't much you can do) Animationish (not free, but the most fun art animation program I have ever seen!) Hyperstudio5 (not free, but worth the minimum price - much more creative than PPT!)

This is a GREAT source for teachers to buy products for your class but at a GREAT price I buy all my products for my kids. Real god for getting treats and rewards for your students. Check it out!

See below for our collection of Free Stuff for Teachers...... I found a cool project for Father's Day that I will use in my Kindergarten class.

Great little site with financial literacy lessons for students of all ages. Good tips for teachers as well.
