This is a great FREE resource that discusses the idea of safe internet behavior. There are plenty of resources for the teacher to teach lessons that go along with an online game/component.

very useful website with ideas of implementing iPads into the classroom.  

This website allows classes to connect and collaborate with each other.  Students and educators are able to access their homework, share content, and check their grades on this site.  I would use this for all subjects in order to keep in touch with students whenever they need me.

I really enjoyed exploring this website. I really like the fact that it is a secure website. We sometimes find websites in which can lead us to false information or unwanted information so I feel that this one is one that I would feel safe about including in my own classroom. Thank you for sharing.

Edmodo provides teachers and students a secure place to connect and collaborate.

This website is a site where teachers can go and create a wiki for their class.  I would use it for different subjects or just for my class as a whole.

Good source to pass on to teachers looking to expand in their classroom. Neat examples that would benefit the teacher that is looking to challenge their students. I have been looking for something like this to help our English teacher wanting a good source with Wikis - Thanks

I thought this was a great, easy to understand resource. It also gives great examples. For me, it answered a lot of questions about wikis that I had. It also gives great ideas of how to use them. Overall, a very informative great website!

This page provides quite a few different educational wikis that you can research to see how you would like to incorporate one into your own classroom.

This is a pretty cool wiki that gives us teachers a framework of what a good wiki looks like.

This blog has a lot of cute and creative ideas to use in a first grade classroom.  I plan to use this site to generate some ideas for my future classroom.

This blog is awesome, i really liked it and enjoyed it. this will be very useful for kids. this blog have been designed to meet specific reading aspects for grade 1 students. well done work.

Thanks for sharing this blog. Although I am a Special Education teacher I still felt like their were a lot of ideas I could apply to my classroom. It's always fun to see what other educators out their are doing. This blog would be used primarily for teachers as its all about ideas in the classroom for instruction and projects. However you could use it to create a project choice list for you students to choose to complete so many by the end of the year.

This is a great tool to use in order to show your students how to get started on their own blogs.  I would use this with older students in order to get them started on sharing different ideas that they might have with each other.

This is a resource wiki for history teachers. This wiki has many resources for what ever grade or subject that a teacher needs resources for. Check out how much information is on this one wki. 

This wiki has many great resources if you are planning to be a history teacher. There are links to standards, history information, and much more that could easily be used in the classroom.

A website that explains wikis, how to use them, and has examples of wikis.

I think this is a great place for new educators to start (or educators new to this technology). It gives you the basics and instruction for what what exactly a wiki is and how it can be used. We need simple and clear cut sites like these to introduce new technologies so that we don't get so lost and left behind!

Materials, eBooks, videos, and games for teachers or students.

This site was really cool to look at. It had a ton of things to buy for the classroom! Just looking around I was already getting inspired to incorporate them into daily activities and lessons. This would be site I would recommend to administration so they can purchase things for the school to have available (if they are nice like that).

Reading and writing tips, ideas, and lessons for teachers.

Thanks for sharing this site, Haley! I love the free "student interactives" given under the resources tab; I just had a lot of fun exploring some of those -- especially the "printing press" which I am actually adding to my own bookmarks....it looks like a cool way to get students interested in writing, and incorporating an "app" to make their publications look more professional. Definitely something I'd like to use in my upcoming student teaching, or my own classroom! :)

Resources, guides, ideas, and videos about teaching reading

This is Lucy Gray's blog in which gives ideas and resources for future and current educators. She incorporates a lot of technology resources and which I find very interesting 

This is a blog for current and pre-service teachers that gives advice, lesson plans, and what to expect with technology in the classroom

This website is a great resource for whiteboard activities for Language Arts. I would use this in my classroom if I had a Promethean board or any other type of interactive whiteboard in order to engage my students in a new way.

Thank you for sharing this resource. I am getting a Mimio in our classroom next month and this will really help me find some things that could work for us. Great find! Thanks.

Web 2.0 ideas to be used in the classroom.

This website has great ideas for web 2.0's in the classroom.

To The Lesson is a teacher blog that is full of classroom ideas, organizational tips, management tips, etc. that can be helpful to use as ideas for any classroom!

This blog's simplicity is what I liked best about it. It shows great pictures and is organized in a way that easy to understand. Also, it gives great ideas for early education. I plan on teaching k-2 so this could give me great ideas for fun lessons!

I found the first few posts in this blog to be really interesting, although probably not very useful for me as a future teacher. I don't know much about Montessori teaching or schools. Based on my initial impressions, and the fact that I fully plan on being a "messy classroom" teacher (lots of differentiation, lots of AT (I'm a special education minor in addition to being an ed. tech. minor), I'm not sure how much my classroom philosophy and organizational principals could relate to this teacher's. A very different perspective, to be sure! If I ever have free time (maybe over winter break!?) I'd like to read more about what this Montessori stuff is all about; I'm especially interested in the value of the "Practical Life" work this teacher is doing?? Totally different than anything I've seen in my educational training. Thanks for sharing. :)

This website is a marketplace for educators. It is a resource to get materials of various kinds to be used in the classroom. This can range from classroom management, labels, lesson plans, paperwork used in the classroom, forms, etc. Some items are free and some must be bought. These materials can be printed and used or be used as framework for a teacher who is looking to create their own materials but doesn't know where to begin and can use these as a template.

I have been to this site and there are some great things on here, but I have a little bit of a problem with teachers selling their lessons. If this is what you want to do then create something that can be sold commercially. I am not really sure why this strikes me as wrong but it just doesn't sit right somehow. I would gladly share my ideas with others, but if I want to make money off my ideas I would go to the work to present it in a manner that those purchasing would have some assurance that what they are purchasing has some educational value, meets goals and standards and has been tested and refined. Personal opinion, like I said at the beginning there is great free stuff on here too, check it out and see what there is to offer.

Thinking of Teaching is a teacher blog that is full of ideas that can be used in the classroom as well as freebies

Teacher Blog where ideas can be obtained that can be used in the classroom. Topics in the blog range from specific things such as 100's day, alphabet, specific themes, to bulletin board ideas, classroom management, or general topics such as language arts, math, etc.

This website has a great number of resources for Elementary Teachers.  There are teaching materials, free printables, literacy centers, etc.

I really enjoyed looking into this due to the fact that their are many resources within this. I am able to use this website to broaden my resources for lessons plans. I too plan to teach in the elementary school so this is something I will most definitely use this for my future classroom.

This website seems to have great tips for management and lessons. I love the laundry basket idea for reading books. Sometimes you just need a lesson plan reference and this site had lots!
