    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.

    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.

    Coach's Eye makes it extremely easy to review individual frames of the video to really see what is happening. You have the power to create and share videos that people can understand immediately, without ever leaving your phone.

    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!

    Before this site I had never even heard of a Glog, but after this site I find them to be very interesting and useful. The variety of information on this site is so vast and with so many participants from so many locations the content is great. This would be a great project for a classroom to participate in, through Glogs, which would be fun and educational at the same time for students. They could create their own or browse others for a quality yet interactive lesson. I will add it to the "someday I want to use this in my classroom" list. Thanks for sharing.

    I'd never heard of this site before, thanks for sharing! One thing I found to be pretty neat, is the community discussions forum. Many controversial topics are being debated, such as: "Should schools continue to teach cursive writing?" It is important for teachers to keep their students' engaged and interested in their learning, but it is equally important for teachers to stay engaged.
  • Lindsey Ambrose on 17 Nov 11
     
    Thank you for sharing this site. I went through some of the different lesson plans and I am excited to be able to use them sometime. I wish I would have known about this resource when I was trying to make lessons for my level twos. It had so many different ideas for lessons. I looked at one about the Gettysburg Address and it was a great and thought provoking lesson.

    This website could be a great resource for students and teachers in science, math, history, language arts, etc. This site will allow students to create a fake page about a famous individual. This combines things students enjoy (Facebook) and school material. If you can create an appropriate and interactive project, it can be very enjoyable for students.

    This looks like a great site Katie! I can definitely see myself using this in the future. I will be an ESL teacher, so it will be a good way to practice simple English phrases, as well as learning content. Thanks for sharing!

    This is an awesome tool that teachers and students can use to share their knowledge with others. I have already used this to help my godson with some of his music theory, because the slide shares are searchable, so you can share with others, and view other people's contributions. I will use this in my English classroom to establish historical/literary contexts for literature before my students start reading.

    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.

    Gamification is the use of game design techniques and mechanics to solve problems and engage audiences. Typically gamification applies to non-game applications and processes (also known as "funware"), in order to encourage people to adopt them. Gamification works by making technology more engaging, by encouraging users to engage in desired behaviors, by showing a path to mastery and autonomy, and by taking advantage of humans' psychological predisposition to engage in gaming. (definded by wikipedia). This is a blog that introduces how use gamification in education and business. It also provides some sources and tools.

  • Emily Keitel on 11 Nov 11
     
    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). Some examples are: http://illuminations.nctm.org/, http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html, and http://gregtangmath.com/.
