Hello fellow EDC3100 members
Here is a very interesting school in NSW that considers themselves a "Technology High School". Go over and have a look and post your thoughts.

This site is Australian and really switched on. It has a newsletter that keeps teachers current with latest education info, has resources that are fantastic (like cool Bloom's stickers, teacher diary and so on). I've been subscribed to them for years and have benefitted so sharing my toolbelt.
This is a great website that I found, it is primarily set up for Pre-Service Teachers to help them build their ICTE (Information, Communication and Technology in Education) capabilities. It even has little packages that you can log into the site with your Scootle account and look at practical hints and tips on integrating ICTs into your lessons in English, History, Maths and Science. Easy to use and quite informative. Has a lot of information about TPACK too :) the packages come in three areas, early childhood, upper primary/lower secondary and years 9/10. There is even reflective video clips from Pre-Service Teachers that have used these packages.
For all those secondary Mathematics pre-service teachers, check out this clip on how to link concepts such as algebra with real life alongside using technology and incorporating other subject areas. I thought it was great
From another Diigo site. Reading to Learn is one of the world's most powerful literacy programs. It is designed to enable all learners at all levels of education to read and write successfully, at levels appropriate to their age, grade and area of study. The Reading to Learn strategies have been independently evaluated to consistently accelerate the learning of all students at twice to more than four times expected rates, across all schools and classes, and among students from all backgrounds and ability ranges.
How a primary teacher approached student blogs as part of their digital portfolio, but after they had learnt to blog as a whole class. Very interesting. From another Diigo site.
This flipchart would be useful in junior secondary geography classes to show students how to include photos and other information into assessment pieces
Suggestions on ways to provide engaging lessons that help develop students with ESL. Introducing music and excursions to the class to help with stimulation and understanding.
A site where you can create your own flashcards; good for student review where either the teacher creates or individual students create and share. There are lots of flashcards already created that you can view; for example, I searched SQL and found 876 cards!
