TubeChop allows you to easily chop a funny or interesting section from any YouTube video and share it. How Does It Work? 1. Find the video you want to chop. 2. Select & cut interesting part of the video. 3. Share it with friends.

This is part of the FlDOE website. The problem with the site is it vast. When you log in navigating is not impossible just more complex due to the amount of information on the site. I selected this link because it takes you directly to the FCAT links and resources offered by the DOE.

One, two, three, four - give your algebra class a hip hop beat score! Researchers have been studying the link between music and learning for decades, and recent research suggests that listening to music does indeed enhance the brain's ability to absorb new information.

A great website for teachers to incorporate tablets in their classroom. A teacher can search applications according to subject area and grade level. Along with rating the application, the site gives the compatibility of the app such as, does it work with IOS, andriod, ipad, or ipod.

The FLDOE website is so full of information sometimes navigation can be a challenge. I liked this list of Florida fieldtrip resources. Many have free teacher resources.

I know field trips are not as easy to organize these days, but here's a link of Florida field trip locations I found on the DoE web site. A lot of these locations have pretty cool interactive web sites that offer "digital field trips" which could be an alternative.

List of FL field trips.

Cool Math 4 Kids has cool math lessons, cool math games and fun activities. We have free online flash cards to print out, cool math practice games, online calculators and lessons for addition, subtraction, times tables, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and more. Great site but it does have a lot of advertisements on it!

I loved using this site to help my students practice skills in reading and math prior to completing science practice. Unfortunately the science test is testing reading comprehension as much as it tests science. If students are great at hands on experiments but cannot associate a paragraph of written material to the hands on activity, then they will not do well on FCAT Science. FCAT Explorer will help with those skills prior to science lessons.

FCAT Explorer is a free, online educational program for Florida's students that reinforces reading and math skills outlined in the Sunshine State Standards.

Isn't FCAT going away?

Useful website for career search Links to DOE e-library has many activities for ABE students

Florida Department of Education | Official Pinterest account for Florida Dept. of Education.

Wow! This Pinterest account has more for teachers than the regular web site! I love it! Very nice incorporation of social media as well.

In the world of academia, Google search engine does not always serve the purpose because most of the time its search results are not exact . I am a huge fan of Google but when it comes to academic search queries I often have recourse to other search engines that are area or content specific.

Great website for educators to access royalty free clip art, lesson plans, clip media, and presentations.

This website is AMAZING. It has clip-art, photographs, presentation images, maps, lessons, and answers to tech questions. There are so many images available, they are free (up to a certain amount, but it is very generous), it tells you exactly how to cite them, and it has options for file size and format. It took some clicking/digging around, but this is what led me to this site: FL DOE - Educators button at top - Curriculum, Instruction, Student Services - Instruction & Curriculum - Instructional Technology - Educational Technology Clearinghouse

Thanks for sharing. I am building resources for my developmentally delayed students and often go to by pre-made resources. As I get up to speed, I realize I would like to build my own. Is Boardmaker Online user friendly or does it require extensive practice?

While the Florida Department of Education does not officially endorse any specific technology standards or models of teaching with technology, the resources provided are made available to assist educators and administrators with the facilitation of technology integration into classrooms, schools, and school districts.
