This site requires free registration and then sends only one email a day with the latest top picks on freeware. This is where I heard about Instagrok and others. It is well worth the time reading every day or so to build resources.
This Pinterest page was contributed by a fellow tweeter, Matt, and has his pinboard of resources for students with special needs. It's UK based, but has some info re how to make literacy accessible to students with dyslexia/reading difficulties. You will need to sign up for TES Connect but it's free.
I got this from Twitter. It's an article from Edutopia and has a link to more recent info about how teachers use technology at home and in the classrooms.
This site has great interactive and print resources for learning all sorts of things. I used some of these this term for lessons on seasons in a special ed setting and the students were very engaged and learnt well.
More for actual teachers as need to sign up, but you can have a free trial. Teachers at my work use this a lot for letter recognition and literacy practice. Something to keep for future - great for early childhood and special ed.
I used resources on this website for my WebQuest. They have audio instructions which is great for early childhood and special ed. Very educational, interactive and engaging.
1000s of free resources that most of the teachers at my work use. It is great as based in UK so has similar spelling to us. Some interactive but mostly printed resources. Invaluable.
Like Paint.net but more options. Lots of options. I downloaded this recently and need more time to master, but it would be great for primary, secondary and adult ed.
A great site that lets you capture screen images much more efficiently by isolating the specific section on the screen. I got this from Gizmo's freeware site too.
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 site was developed for teachers who make resources and sell direct to other teachers. You can download 1000s of free resources, but also buy at reasonable prices. Great for your toolbelt.
We were given this resource by David Martin for our EDX3280 Maths course. It is great for all mainstream education and there may even be some application for higher learning, like TAFE.
I got this from a website I am subscribed to - Gizmo freeware. We think that Google is the way to always find stuff, but try this and see what you get. You type in what you want to know, and a mind map opens up on the topic. You can then click on each bubble and it extends! Fantastic.
