    This is an easy way for teachers to share and collaborate with students and teachers while using a social networking system.

    I really enjoy edmodo. For a class last semester a group I was in created a "class" on edmodo just to get the feel of it. It really creates a nice environment for students to be a part of. It is inviting to them because of the social aspect, yet remains safer than other social networking sites could be.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Google+ is a social networking application that is relatively new and is gaining popularity. A major feature is circles. With circles Google+ allows the user to set friends into circles that have the same grouping such as Work & Teachers.
  • Melanie Abbas on 14 Nov 11
     
    I am not sure if I would use this in a higher education environment. Students at that level use a lot of social networking already and I'm not sure this would be a benefit in the classroom.

    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.
  • 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!

    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.
  • anonymous on 14 Nov 11
     
    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.
  • Melanie Abbas on 14 Nov 11
     
    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.

    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.
  • Min Zhang on 14 Nov 11
     
    I like this blog. It not only provides a bunch of free resources, but also presents ideas of how to use them in classrooms. And the related software are recommended at the end of each post.I think it's easy for teachers to explore the best software that fit into their classroom settings.

    This is the first time I have seen this blog. This blog is a great way for teacher's to save time when trying to implement technology into their lessons. For a website that is free of charge, it updates often and has a lot of fun and useful videos. I would say this website could not only be used by teachers, but also for students to use with supervision.

    The individual blog of Richard Byrne, a high school US History and Civics teacher, who actively submits his educational technological findings to over 36,000 daily subscribers. Byrn's blog has been awarded edublogawards.com's "Best Individual Blog" award the past three consecutive years; the award recognizes those who promote and demonstrate educational values with social media. This site offers many great links to resources pertaining to Web2.0 for educational purposes.

    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.
  • anonymous on 13 Nov 11
     
    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.
  • John Hubbard on 14 Nov 11
     
    This is a great resource. All of the apps that are available to teacher to use is a great plus!

    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.

    I found this article very interesting. Engagement and classroom management are two aspects of teaching that always use improvement, and can become tricky in 1-1 situations. Using Twitter is not something I would thing would help engagement, but I would certainly like to try after reading this article
