    This podcast on law and economics focuses on individual liberty and Constitutional and Common Law. This would be an excellent resource in the social studies classroom for added depth and perspective.

    This could work in a government or economics class. Definitely for older kids, I think.

    This looks like a great resource for anyone in education, teaching or learning. It is well organized and provides links to a lot of useful free tools. I wish I had this stuff when I was growing up.

    This looks like a great resource for elementary teachers, providing so many links in one place. It is like an annotated bibliography, presenting various resources for teachers to use, making it easy for us to navigate. Though I plan to teach in secondary education, some of these categories could still be used with high schoolers in my English classroom, especially Google and the Research & Reference resources. I think that teachers in elementary education will find this resource very useful, and I could even show it so some of my high school students so that they would have different things to explore if they were interested. I found a similar website that compiles resources from around the web, focusing on Language Arts education: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/lang_mid.htm. Here, there are citation guides, research help, online literature links, and many other great activities for the LA classroom.

    This looks like a great resource to keep on hand for teachers! I feel like it should be used mostly by teachers and they should definitely take advantage of it. Too often do teachers use the same routine every day and use stuff out of books! Why not go on the computer and research things that can spice up your classroom.

    This is a great resource for teachers to use in their classrooms to enhance learning. It has a WIDE variety of useful tools that can make learning more fun and engaging. I would recommend that the teacher scans through these options prior to opening them up to students. The teacher could select a few good ones and show them to the students to use during class or at home. I do no have any bookmarks similar to this one, but I am sure there are a lot out there that could be just as helpful. Thanks for sharing the great resource!

    I really like this site.Teachers are always looking for suggestions. For teachers who are using iPads in the classroom, this would be a beneficial site to acquire apps that will suit all lesson plans. This site provides more than 65 apps that are categorized into the subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and general apps that can be used for all. There are plenty more educational apps out there so it is important to stay up to date.

    This is a great resource for teachers starting a 1-1 program with iPads. As someone who is interested in using the iPad in the classroom, this might be the best resource I have seen. It's no question that it isn't the iPad itself, rather the apps that are developed that are the big draw for use in education. I really like that the apps featured on this site are divided into the different subjects that they entail, even sign language! This is a resource I will use in the future if I get the chance to use an iPad in my classroom.

    This is a great resource. All of the apps that are available to teacher to use is a great plus!

    TED is one of the best places to go to hear and see the future of education and technology. The videos featured on TED range in theme, from technology, to social issues. This is a great resource to see what some of the best and brightest have to say about our future.

    TED talks are insightful and really well presented. They often give unique and interesting perspectives on a range of subjects. I could see myself as a secondary social studies teacher using them to help student understand the idea of looking at issues from a variety of perspectives. They would be good for content knowledge, especially for psychology, economics, or sociology.

    TED is an educational website that promotes "ideas worth spreading" it the site challenges the minds of education and technology.

    I have watched a video clip from this site in a college level course. As a college instructor, there would be many technology related videos that I could use in the classroom as a springboard for discussions. It also would be interesting for students.

    Great resource for lessons and classroom activities for Social StudiesClasses.This one site is connected to many other history themed educational sites. While planning my first lesson ever, this site was my go to. It helped with activity ideas, lecture, and powerpoints. Although I may have not used everything it gave me great ideas to build on.
