INSTTECH 4131/5131 Technology in Education (Fall 2011)

This wiki has resources for teachers of all grade levels.

I agree that is Wiki is a great resource that can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. The Wiki contains a lot of great information for teachers to use in their classrooms to "move forward" and incorporate technology and 21st century skills into their classrooms. The site has easy to navigate categories and gives meaningful, relevant, and constructive uses for 21st century (student) skills.

There are a lot of great links and information in this resource. The Wiki is beneficial for classrooms who want to learn about how to integrate some of these activities into their daily schedule. For example, the Wiki provides resources for Wikis, Podcasts, gaming, digital storytelling, and much more.

This blog is about technology. it is always helpful to be inform about technology updates.

This blog is by a teacher who simply blogs about experiences in her classroom. This is neat because someday the situations might happen to me and I am able to recall and use her advice.

This wiki is about World of Warcraft and how it can be implemented into schools and used for learning.

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.

This educational wiki involves using Wikis in the classroom and it provides examples of those ways.

This website can be used as a online encyclopedia. The information on this site is not 100% accurate since anyone can get on and change information. I would use this in my classroom as a source for students when working on finding information for a specific topic.

This is a easy way to group friends so that you can have online chats with them. I would use this to group parents or teachers so that we could communicate throughout the week.

A high school math teacher who gives some great examples of how to integrate technology into the classroom.

This is a teacher's version of youtube. I could use this site to find videos to incorporate into my lessons. Teacher Tube is monitored so there are no explicit videos

This is a popular blogging service that teachers can use to share educational information. I would use this blogging service to share my thoughts and ideas on teaching, and also for learning other peoples thoughts and ideas on teaching.

This is a web resource sponsored by the International Reading Association. Here, you will find classroom resources, searchable by interactive type, learning objective, and theme; professional development resources and tools, and resources for parents. There is also an area for after school activities to use with students to build literacy skills!

21st Century Learning is a wiki that explores our 21st century skills and how to apply them now in education.

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 good website for educators to bookmark their most used websites. This website is a good way to help teachers stay organized.

This seems to be similar to Diigo. I think this site will help teachers stay organized with the many sites available to them. However, I also think students can benefit from using this site. Allow the students to create an account and show them how to use it. Then they save any educational websites to their Diigo so they can access these sites at home. Great find!

This a place where you can find TONS of blogs about technology. This can be taken advantage of by a lot of people just not students/teachers. It gives ideas/advice/every day thought on technology. It is very interesting to look at!

I like this kind of blogs. This blogs is not only focus in education, but also in other interesting topics. I think it is a very good resources to use in class with students to develop a project or a research.

Tools teachers can use in their classroom - a very nice collection of applications and/or software for teachers. Although some of the applications are older Web2.0 tools, they still prove to be highly useful and effective in the classroom. Really cool aggregate resource site for tools you might need someday!

I think this is good app collection. I believe it is very useful because the site explain a little bit how to use the apps

This site is full listening activities for ESL and EFL. It has different levels and it has pre - while and pot listening activites.

Site with full of link about apps and free application. Most of them are games.

Wiki created by teacher to share information about different subjects.
