NASA home page has loads of science and technology based information, that is put into a graphical and interactive format. It covers a wide range of topics beyond space related topics.
The home page for the Discovery channel. It is a wonderful resource for science and tech interactives, videos, and images. A great place to find recent issues and topics in conservation and environmentalism.
This is a really interesting site that is like traveling all over the world, but staying at home. You can use the internet to learn about destinations, remember goals, play games, write a diary and so on. It seems like a strange site for teachers, but I actually think it would be really cool to use in a history class, a social studies class, or a foreign language class. Its like traveling the world, but staying in the same room. They can learn about the countries we're studying about and write some ideas or questions about it on their blog.
A way to record lectures. You can do this at home or in class.
We use this technology at UNCC, but it could prove to be useful in other classroom settings. Students would be able to log in from home to view the lecture again, or if they missed class, a way to not fall behind.
This is an incredible website where students can take the stories they create in class and have the made into real books they can take home and keep forever.
A wealth of "engaging digital resources to schools and homes with the goal of making educators more effective, increasing student achievement, and connecting classrooms and families to a world of learning."
This is a cool website, it is the SMART website. You can find detailed information about all the SMART Technology Education Solutions available. I am noticing that classrooms are increasingly becomes "SMART" classrooms. Looking through, there are a lot of very cool resources available to classrooms. Unfortunately, it will depend if the classroom you teach in, is fortunate enough to be a "SMART" class.
This site is an assessment site created specifically for teachers. It is an easy way to create tests, quizzes and so on and for the students to take those assessments.
Mainly used in math classes as I've seen so far, but a great tool to be used in the classroom. if you ever have a chance to try on out, do it! It's fun and the kids seem to pay attention better when using it.
Mathematics Illuminated is a thirteen-part series for adult learners and high school teachers. The series explores major themes in the field of mathematics, from humankind's earliest study of prime numbers, to the cutting-edge mathematics used to reveal the shape of the universe.
This resource is not only helpful for educators, but for parents as well. The specific article I am referring to provides parents with a detailed list of hints for homework-help and home-front strategies to get the most out of homework and study time (maybe a great "packet" to hand out at open-house =D ).
