Whenever I cover PowerPoint presentations with my elementary kids in computer lab, I have always felt "limited" with the choices that I'm given within the program itself. I tend to use the same background each year, because not many appeal to me personally. Tools like these will enable my students (and me) to create presentations that visually appeal to me as well as my audience.
Video demos and tutorials on how to use Google Apps.
*Google Video (video yourself instead of the usual email, record workshops for teachers who can't make it, record messages for students working on differentiated projects, have students use for class projects), make a class website with Google Sites, and see how to use Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and more!

Great resource for teaching information literacy. The resources are searchable by type (lesson plan or teaching idea) and grade level. Lessons and projects are relevant and interesting.
An outline of basic computers skills, and at what grade level students should be introduced to the skill, developing the skill, or using the skill. Great springboard for keeping in mind what skills students will have for your lessons and technology integration projects.
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. ;)
