    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.

    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.
  • Alison Leytem on 14 Nov 11
     
    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.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    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.
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    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!

    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.
  • Emily Keitel on 11 Nov 11
     
    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/.
  • Emily Eichler on 13 Nov 11
     
    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.

    This website is organized into three parts: educators, families, and students. 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. 
  • anonymous on 12 Nov 11
     
    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.

    This is Iowa's early intervention.  This is for children that are birth to age three.  This is early access' links and resources pages.  Having this page is help because these resources are researched before they are put onto this page.  
  • Diana Boeck on 09 Nov 11
     
    This would be a great resource in my future classroom because it is has well researched, reliable links to provide information on early intervention resources. Many times teachers do not have the knowledge of ability to provide an individual child with what they need. So this site can direct teachers to organizations and resources that can help that child. This site would only be used by teachers, health care providers, social service agencies, and parents. It is not designed for students learning activities or a resource for coursework. I am not aware of any other resources like this that focus on birth through age three.

    Twitter is a social networking site. It can be very beneficial to educators if you follow colleagues and prominent figures in education. Twitter allows you to share articles and resources that are relevant to their interests and education. When you follow people who are in the education you can find lots of new valuable resources that are posted.

    I currently have a twitter account, but do not use it that often. I think if used for the right reasons, it can be very benefical to educators. Twitter is a great way to share ideas and new resources with other educators. I would highly recommend using twitter with colleagues and not students. Trying to find a way to incorporate twitter with your students could create an unsafe learning environment, and would be hard to monitor all students especially in the younger grades.
  • Molly Oleson on 14 Nov 11
     
    Dear Twitter Tweethearts! I have a twitter account and I love it! I follow celebrities mostly though just to get in on the good gossip. Just for this reason though, I don't think it should be used for schools. Perhaps at the collegiate level like I have done in some of my classes, but for high school or younger could possibly break out into bullying on the website towards a student and in some cases a teacher.
  • Katie Pruiksma on 14 Nov 11
     
    Twitter is a very popular social networking site that many businesses, celebrities, and peers use to interact with each other. I have often been told to use twitter in my classroom. However, I am hesitant about doing this. As Joe mentioned, I do not think I would want my students to get involved in twitter during school hours under my supervision. As with Facebook, I believe twitter has the potential to become more of a distraction than a positive. It could open up a window for cyber-bulling and gossiping. On the other hand, I can see that having a twitter account to keep in contact with parents could be beneficial.

    I think that teachers can get a lot of ideas from this site. It not only has "how to" videos for using technology, but it also has lots of ides fro individual subjects. It is constantly updated with new and useful websites. The best part is that all the resources are free, and most of them have been already used in a classroom.

    I definitely agree that this resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. I LOVE math, and enjoyed looking through this website. I liked how it included a teachers corner that gives teachers many ideas and tips on how to use the videos and games in a math lesson/unit. This resource is geared towards both students and teachers; the games and videos are mainly for students benefit, but the teachers corner is also a great resource for teachers. There are many other great websites that include interactive games and videos for teachers to use with their students (as well for students to practice on their own at home).

    Skype's education portal, which connects teachers to classrooms all over the world using Skype for students to interact. A great way for educators who wish to use Skype in their classroom to find out more about the technology! Educators can also share and collaborate their ideas on this site, as well as find other educators who are willing to Skype to their classrooms.
  • anonymous on 13 Nov 11
     
    This is a great resource for teachers. Having this directory of other teachers that use Skype is really helping us flatten the walls of our classroom. I have use Skype for years now and I did not know that they had this out. The classroom that I am working in now would benefit from this resources because we are doing a unit called "Around the World" we have Skype a few people we know personally but this would allows us to talk a person from every country we go.
  • John Hubbard on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a really good resource for teachers. Skype is a great resource in the classroom. The opportunities that Skype bring to the classroom are endless. I have used Skype for other uses but never in the classroom. Students are able to use this as a way to meet students from across the world.
  • Mikael Rein on 14 Nov 11
     
    I had never thought about using Skype in the classroom until now. This is a great resource for both students and teachers. You can even collaborate with other classes using this. This reminds me of the flat classroom project but with a lot more potential.
