    There are alot great sites with 2.0 tools out there. This is one of them. These sites are really helpful.
  •

    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!

Online Math Programs | Math Practice & Learning - 0 views

  •  
    This is a math online.  I found this resource from my little sister who is in second grad and is using for math homework.  This site if free! Here children get to work on math skills that are at their level.  If they get suck they can get a hint or they can watch a video that explains the problem.

bubbl.us | brainstorm and mind map online - 0 views

  •  
    This is a graphic organizer similar to inspiration. It allows to outline content showing relationships between topics. Easy way to go over the main ideas and expand on them while not just presenting a lot of text.
  •  
    I really like that you posted this, because I have been looking for an alternative to Inspiration for a long time! It is even better that it is online and can be used from anywhere. I think that both teachers and students could use this resource: teachers for outlining concepts when delivering lessons to students, and students when studying or creating presentations to use with the class. It would be extremely useful in an English classroom, so you could outline the themes of a piece of literature, without getting too "wordy." I haven't found anything else like this online, so I will have to keep looking. Great post!
  •  
    I really like this post. I was actually was just looking at this before I saw this post. I think that this site would be able to be used very effectively in the classroom. Students could start their mind map at school and also be able to access it from home on the internet. I believe that this resource can be used by both students and teachers. Everyone brainstorms and this site allows for you to save what you have been working on in your profile. Another mind mapping resource that I have found is called spicynodes. It is the same concept with a different interface.

    A good site! It's kinda like a academic video tutorial library. The resources here are really amazing! It provides video tutorials with different subjects (most of them are about math) and different levels to students and allows them to practice what they have learned through online testing. I think it's a good resource for home schooling students. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    This is an interesting website! When I was looking at it, I wanted to bookmark it for myself to show my high school teachers. It could be used for teachers and students, but not only that parents can go on there too! I am not strong in the math area so this would be perfect for me!
  •  
    This is a great website! I have seen this mentioned on the news a couple of months ago. It has a lot of interactive videos for students and teachers to use to enhance learning. This would be a great site to show students at the beginning of the year so they can reference for assistance throughout the year. Bookmarking it now! I am unaware of any other similar sites at this point.
  •  
    This is a great tool for math and science teachers. It's a really good resource for kids to have when they are struggling with a concept. When it's uploaded as video they can chose their own pace by pausing the video. I myself have used YouTube videos like this to help me learn something new.
  •  
    I have used this site myself to help with math tutoring and it really is a efficient tool to do some quick teaching.

    Screen-cast-o-mastic is a free screen recording, screen capture software. It can be accessed through the web on any computer, anywhere, and you can record up to 15 minutes worth of actions and narration. Great for responding to student questions where a visual walk through can be more benificail than a long email.
  •  
    I will definitively use this in my future classroom.I have used Jing in the past successfully but this tool has 10 more minutes of free recording than Jing does. This tool can be used both by teachers and students. Students can use this tool to create projects or for presentations. Jing can be found at: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html?gclid=CI2alve0jqwCFQXt7QodBF6zdw
  •  
    Diana and Destery, Screenr (http://www.screenr.com/) is another free alternative that is cross platform.

    Vicki Davis, who runs the Cool Cat Teacher blog, is also active on Twitter and posts insightful tweets.
  •  
    This is a great blog, it is also one that is posted daily. This makes it extremely useful and worth my time to check. She has so many resources for any type of technology out there. This is blog is designed for teachers but is useful for students in the college of education.
  •  
    Vicki Davis is a pioneer for using online applications and Web 2.0 with students. She is a superwoman! I agree with Hailey, this blog is extremely useful for teaching candidates, because it provides us with real life examples (Vicki's students and the FCP) of how online education is working! I think this resource would prove more useful to teachers because it discusses many different things that a teacher might face, and she also relates personal stories for examples. It kind of gives us some perspective on what we might expect when using web apps and online learning in the classroom. Angela Maeirs' education blog is a similar type of blog, and both women are incredibly inspiring teachers.
  •  
    I like how there are daily posts to the website. As a teacher candidate i would consider using this site a lot in the future.
  •  
    I have been following this blog for a little over a year now. I feel like this blog is an excellent resource for teachers. This blog shows educators how they can incorporate these new applications or tools into their own teaching. This is one of the best educational blogs that I have ever come across.
  •  
    This is the first time I have seen this blog. I believe this is a great way for educators to learn new ways to incorporate new tools into their classrooms. It seems to update often, and I plan on viewing this resource in the future, because of the interesting topics that are being blogged about.
  •  
    I've been following this blog and I also follow her on twitter. She has some great ideas and I really enjoy reading her posts.

The Educator part gives teachers many great teaching materials, online resources, lesson plans, field trip ideas and professional development resources. The Families part gives tipes and suggestions for families planning on visiting the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. The Students part gives students links to discover the museum as well as various links and resources to explore different subjects from school. The resources include websites, games, and activities. 
  •  
    I liked how you could search for topics by state standards and grade level besides subject. This would be a good resources for both kids and teachers. The separate kids section is also a good exploratory site in that they can discover things on their own.

    The main page for the Flat Classroom Project wikis. Created by Vicki Davis and Julie Lindsay, Flat Classroom is a wiki that allows students to participate in collaborative, global "flattening" projects through online communication, use of web 2.0 tools, and Thomas Friedman's mentality that "the world is flat."

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  •  
    This website can be used as a online encyclopedia. The information on this site is not 100% accurate since anyone can get on and change information. I would use this in my classroom as a source for students when working on finding information for a specific topic.

    This is a easy way to group friends so that you can have online chats with them. I would use this to group parents or teachers so that we could communicate throughout the week.

Symbaloo | Access your bookmarks anywhere - 1 views

  •  
    Symbaloo is your personal online desktop. Create links to all of your favorite websites, blogs, news, and other Web 2.0 applications on a single page. This can be used to create and centralize your professional learning network or personal learning environment.
  •  
    This is a cool idea, its simple and clean. This would be a great tool to use to make your PLN. I have done a PLN with google but I did not like it and have not used but I could see my self and students using Symbaloo. I also see this as a tool for student with special needs. If a student who has problem with fine motor skills typing or a mouse would be hard but if they had a touch screen tablet or computer they could set this up and have their favorite sits at the touch of their fingers.
