This is an interesting site that could be used for students to do self-journal assignments. There would no longer be a need for bulky notebooks or binders, as the journal site would replace such. Teachers can set up a class and have administrative access to grade/comment on the student journal entries. I have not used this, but it looks like it could be a great tool.

This website provides access to educational films from creators like National Geographic and Nova. It can be sorted by grade level. And, it includes related discussion questions.

This website provides students with access to daily headlines from newspapers around the U.S. There is an interactive map in which students can pick the city to see the current events listed there. This could be good for a compare and contrast assignment or an daily opening excercies to keep students involved in current evetns.

The mission of The Why Files is to explore the science, math and technology behind the news of the day, and to present those topics in a clear, accessible and accurate manner.The Why Files produces a new story each week, alternating longer features with shorter shorties. The website also posts a series of interactive science animations and the ever-popular "Cool Science Images," a series of Teacher Activity Pages linked to the national science teaching standards, The Weather Guys, and Curiosities. I think this is a cool resource!

This paper reports on the consequent audit of Internet Safety practices in Education Authorities (LEAs) across England.Additionally emerging concerns for Internet Safety practices in schools such as the technical and moral difficulties of filtering Internet access via mobile technologies will be highlighted.

Educators who work in low-income schools understand technology could help them understand student needs better and create more engaging learning experiences. But tight budgets make some of the more ambitious schemes, like one-to-one computer access a distant dream. Yet it's precisely the schools with under-served student populations that stand to gain the most from technology.

You can sign up for free and access free and some paid digital content that is alligned to state standards. I linked it to the informational page so that you can read more about it. Visit the marketplace and sign up to use the digital resources.

A very valuable resource! My favorite part of this site is that you may access not only all of the standards but also accompanying lessons ideas for those standards.

Florida website that is an amazing website that has lesson plans with tons of resources. Each one is also linked to standards.

Program that grades your papers... Yah or Nahh??

Great educationally relevant materials!

so cool looks awesome thanks for the update

A great education news site that provides a sub section just for technology. A fantastic way to get access to up-to-day edtech news and best practices. Perfect resource for those in EdTech.

This is another website that is part accessible for free, but there is a pay option to take advantage of the rest ($ per year). Scholastic offers lesson plans, worksheets, mini books, a whole section of "computer lab favorites" with learning activities students can do on the computer in 30 minutes or less, videos, a class homepage builder, and more. Building a whole unit (any subject) is made easy with the resources available on this site. There is even a special section for new teachers!

One more website I use from time to time. Internet4classrooms is a great site because you can find your topic and grade and you can access a bunch of projects, websites, and also lesson plans. My kids are in the prehistory chapter and I used a lesson plan from this site in which students can only use cave man sign language to talk the entire and they loved it!

The Smithsonian website is an educational that provides links and activities for both educators and students. This site provides educational content for educators which they can easily access and use within their classrooms. It provides videos, interactive games and additional links for students to navigate their way through in order to gain a greater understanding of history and art. It is a great site that can truly help enhance to overall content of one's lesson.

This website takes making PowerPoint presentations to a whole new level. Presentations can be created online and accessed anywhere there is a connection to the internet. Teachers can create a free account and set it to private if they wish. This is a great resource for not only presentations but creating digital storytelling

Teachers this is great what to bring fun and life to your PowerPoints its a new why to do them, its a lot of work at first but its pretty cool.

Thanks Tonga! I plan to use Prezi for the first time this weekend for one of my other courses. I like how a lot of resources out there are allowing users to save on their sites so that we don't have to carry our flashdrives around all the time and so others can collaborate with us! (Just realized this was a post from last semester...oops!)

A fun interactive site that develops reading and language skills for younger students. The web site can be accessed at school or home. It features letter recognition, building sentences, synonyms and antonyms, and more. The skills are broken down into beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels.

"The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning is a refereed, open access e-journal that disseminates original research, theory, and best practice in open and distance learning worldwide."

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
