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.

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.

I like this website. Think it will be a great resource for teachers to use because it breaks down how everything works. I would use this as a resource for my classroom. I believe this site contains a lot of information that our students need to learn about.

I love this diigo assignment. One of the most taxing problems as a teacher will be to find resources to use in the classroom. This is a resource of resources for teachers.

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.

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.
