Some parents and teachers using media on the class may not be familiar with ESRB ratings. This site helps to clarify media content issues. The site also helps to inform parents. A nice add on to any educator website link list. I was able to get them to send me a set of bookmarks for my library a couple of years ago. :)

We need this type of program for young men all over the world. We tend to forget about helping the troubled kids.

That sounds like a great program! Two good ones in Florida include Faith Farm and Dunklin Memorial. One of these days I would like to run something similar...farm and faith based, alternative ed, counseling on site. Thanks for sharing!

Website pretty good- I am going to use mine for my students to help with chemistry assignments and extra credit

Check this out helps student to work together on group projects outside of class

This may help with making your rubric for digital storytelling

This is the section of the Minnesota Dept. of Education's website called "Educator Excellence," furnished with resourses to help educators succeed such as Early Learning Resources, Professional Development and Teacher Programs. Worth taking a look at to compare with FL Dept. of Ed's website.

This activity will help students learn how to shelve or find books in the library.

This site is a great resource and a must for all Florida teachers. I was able to find several helpful websites to use in classroom, required standards, and much more,

This website is very nice for helping students learn different concepts using interactive puzzles and manipulative.

One of my favorite sites. It has lots of pre-made games that help teach different math concepts. The best thing about the site is it allows you make your own games of all different thttp://resources.oswego.org/games/#ypes.

This site provides links to multiple sites that have interactive assignments and games for all different grade and skill level.

Math Machine Archive: Math Games The Math Machine brings you a great collection of math games that you can share with your students. Here in The Math Machine you will find links to more than 50 online games that will help you teach and reinforce important math skills. Search the list below for games you might use with your whole class in your schools computer lab, or you might schedule students to use these games on computers in your classroom computer center. These games make great reward time activities too.

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?

Learn about the chemistry of the cheeseburger, household cleaners, chocolate, biotoxins, changing leaves, and more! Lesson plans from the National Science Teachers Association designed for middle and high school.

Thanks good site, it will help students see chemistry, very nice!!

This was a cool site with nice videos. Chemistry is complex to students with low reading levels, videos are extremely helpful.

I taught 6 and 8th grade last year and opened the year in Kindergarten. This site truly helped me focus on organizing an elementary classroom.

Great resource helping teacher including technology in the classroom. Also has resource for special needs. Check it out!

As technology continues to evolve, there is a greater demand for integrating technology into the classrooms. This article is a great read to help further the discussion on if this push for more technology in the classroom truly leads to the enhancing of students' learning and the quality of education.

This brief article is an early work by Dr. Ian Bogost related to what he would later refer to as "procedural rhetoric." In this piece Dr. Bogost draws parallels between various processes essential to being "literate" at different points in history. With what "processes" do we need to become literate as educators in the 21st century? How can we help others become literate?

This sounds a lot like learning by doing. If students can't experience battle re-enactments, or visit musuems and historical sites, or travel to parks, or act out a story, technology might afford those luxuries. Computers, iPads, even smart phones can provide virtual field trips and experiences. Students can further share these experiences through social networking. As an older generation, I feel it necessary to keep learning how today's youth are communicating so I will be able to connect with them and bridge that gap in their education.

Not a fan of Diamond, but I did like Guns, Germs, and Steel. As it relates to learning, I do agree that there is great benefit in constructing your learning. I imagine a day when we will be able to choose from a vast assortment of resources that will allow us to illustrate specific terms or concepts and from those resources we can build knowledge, sort of like a Lego model.

Nice chart to help with planning online learning classes and creating essential learning objectives.

Information about digital resources you can use to help make history come alive in your classroom. Check out the dipity sample of a presidential timeline - very cool!
