Annotated web resources related to educational technology shared by members of UCF's EME5050 learning community.

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!)

Pete's Power Point contains hundreds of free Power Point presentations on all core subjects for both primary and secondary educators. All of the Power Points can be downloaded and used as is, or you can alter them to fit your lesson and teaching style.    

This website is definitely worth bookmarking! There are numerous premade PowerPoints for all content areas. It would be very helpful for anyone who has a projector or uses a TV for instruction. These PowerPoints could be used as an introduction or for reviewing content before an assessment.

Erik, I didn't realize you posted this great website already. Sorry- I tried to delete my bookmark but I was unable to. I will find another resource to contribute :)

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.

"'Animated Educational Video Clips"

This is an animated site for kids. Sight contains information in all subject areas. There is a fee to use all of the site but they provide some free material as well. I like the clear explanations they have on the topics.

An awesome website for elementary students! The videos can also be added to Nearpod lessons and viewed with headsets.

A web site for students and teachers to explore. Young students can explore the virtual world of Dr. Seuss through activities and games. Also, teachers can integrate lesson plan activities related to Dr. Seuss books (ex. Earth Day lesson plan using the The Lorax).

"Love it! My students and my own children can't wait to get on the computer, and I then have a hard time stopping them from using the site!" Special education teacher, Elmhurst, Illinois, U.S.A. "Thanks to IXL, our students' performance has increased dramatically.

This is great! now my nephew will stop having a fit about doing extra work.

All grades, all skills, provides explanation when students are incorrect, rewards, goals, badges to earn! It isn't free, but get enough teachers on board and your school could purchase for everyone. Teachers are sent class reports: we print them out and hang them up outside our classrooms "Miss Sipe's class has answered 3,000 problems on IXL"

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!

An intruiging search engine provided by google that allows you to search for one topic (ex: fractions) and gives you books, translations, videos, 3D explorations and more.

This website provides a great deal of valuable information for both educators and students pertaining to NASA and Space in general. Lesson plans for K-12, free supplemental teaching materials, educational TV schedules and professional development workshop information is all available for educators on this site. For students, this website has interactive games, videos and printable activities for grades kindergarten through 12th grade. I have used materials and ideas from this cite many times, and find it very useful and easy to incorporate into any lesson.
