    This is a commercial website that sells an entire computer curriculum package. But there are a lot of sample lessons with ideas on how to incorporate technology into learning that are worth looking at.

Iowa Core Curriculum - Home - 1 views

    This website is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Education. It lists the standards and benchmarks for the differing grade levels and subjects. It is a great resource for teachers to use while planning their lessons.

    This resource is very beneficial and can be used in the classroom. I think that this resource is mostly for teacher use. This gives you a foundation of standards and benchmarks that can be helpful in making a solid lesson. For teachers that are not going to be teaching in Iowa they can find the standards for the state in which they are teaching in.

    This is a good resource for mainly teachers. I would use this resource to help create and give the final touches to my lesson plans. I think all teachers would benefit from using this resource. Having this resource bookmarked would save time, which is important for all teachers, while creating and getting ideas for lesson plans.

    This is a great resource, mostly for teachers or for students who are inspiring to be a teacher. I have used it in many of my classes and it has helped me out with planning lessons. This would be a good resource to have bookmarked on your page.

    If I were only allowed to have a handful of bookmarks, this would definitely be one that I would choose. Thank you for including this bookmark for our Diigo group.
  •  
    It is a great idea to add this resource. I myself have had to refer to this site so many times. It will be a great resource for now and for when we are in the teaching field. Thank you for adding this so it is in a common place for everyone.

    The website for the Iowa Core Curriculum. This is what will be driving Iowa's Educational goals (according to the last I have heard). Teachers can easily find help with implementation, and aspects and standards of the entire Iowa Core.

    Resources for the classrooms

    This is a great resource for teachers to link high quality educational PBS programs to curriculum. Youtube can be a time sucking hole for teachers sifting through the countless videos. I think that this site can help teachers find or develop resources that will actually support learning goals. Students can use this site also to watch videos and programs on subjects they are interested in. http://www.teachertube.com/ also has teacher resources and videos.

    I agree that this website is a great resource that can be efficiently used in my own classroom. The website breaks down information and resources by grade bands, so that teachers can focus specifically on their grade without having to filter through a lot of other irrelevant information. This site can use used to help teachers link learning objectives, goals, and state standards to activities and lesson plans. Teachers could also give this website to students as a way to help their improve their learning by watching videos that interest them. Another website that has similar resources is: http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/educators/.

    PBS resources are really great! I have not had a chance to use them in the classroom yet but have explored what the site has to offer. I first found that they were providing resources to teachers here at UNI and at a technology conference. They mentioned how they link the standards to their activities and lesson plans which is great for teachers to quickly find what they need. I would recommend this to the younger elementary grades.

FREE -- Teaching Resources and Lesson Plans from the Federal Government - 1 views

  •  
    Free resources provided by the federal government. A good source of lesson materials and plans.
  •  
    Wow, this site is a gold mine for free resources. You can navigate the website by subject (History for example) then click on sub-categories like World War I. It list free resources and the websites where you can find them. This would be a good resource for teachers or for students as the research or create projects.

QR Code Periodic Table with Symbols | Flickr - Photo Sharing! - 0 views

  •  
    This periodic table integrates QR (quick response) codes for specific elements. Scanning an individual qr code with your mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) via a qr reader, will take you to YouTube videos that provide additional information about a specific element. This can be an innovative way of utilizing QR codes in a chemistry class.
  •  
    Here is a great example of using QR codes to support a chemistry curriculum.
