This site was developed by a self-taught computer programmer. He has many short videos to teach about specific computer hardware and programming tasks.

This is a link to the program for "Flat Classroom teacher certification" (2 credits through UNI).

This link is more about providing information on training that is available for teachers that want to become flat classroom certified rather than direct information that could be used by a teacher in the classroom. This makes the information contained in this resource exclusively for teacher use for possible teacher development. I know that the AEA 267 website http://www.aea267.k12.ia.us/pd/ has listings of teacher development courses but I did not see one anywhere else on flat classrooms. This course is one that I might consider taking in the future.

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.  

A step-by-step video tutorial website. Great for familiarizing yourself with new programs or websites! UNI has just worked out a deal with the site, details are still in the air, but shortcuts to access all videos are on computers in all of UNI's labs!

Resources for the classrooms

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.

One teachers blog about 1:1 iPad integration and training for educators and students. Development and management insight for iPad curriculum and implementation into classrooms.

First hand account of implementing an iPad 1:1 program as well as the good, the bad, and the ugly that go along with it.

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!
