    A great site for the District Administration magazine which covers a range of school items from building construction to curriculum. Being involved in many facets and committees, I review this occasionally.

iPads for Learning - 21 Steps to 1-to-1 Success - 0 views

  •  
    This is a great handbook created by the State Department of Victoria (Australia) Department of Education regarding 1:1 implementation.  Many great ideas for how to successfully implement a 1:1 program from start to finish.  A good resource for teachers and administration alike, especially schools in the early stages of 1:1.

Educational Blogs You Should Be Investigating - 0 views

  •  
    Why look for just one blog when you can have a million? Maybe not that many, but this offers a list of numerous blogs that fall under specific categories such as 'administration' or 'technology integration.' There is a blog here for everyone, so start looking!

Create Surveys Here! - 0 views

  •  
    This web 2.0 tool has multiple possibilities. Here's just a couple I've thought of: 1) your students are doing a research project and 2) you want to connect with your students and/or students' parents. Easy, efficient, and technology based.

    Surveymonkey is a flexible, effective tool that can be used in a variety of settings. In addition to using it in the classroom and as a tool to reach out to parents, it could also be used administratively for research and strategic planning purposes.
  •  
    Surveymonkey is flexible, and easy to use. Although when using it for a kiosk station you need to pay for a subscription fee but worth all the hassle. Another substitution is google forms too.
  •  
    We have used Surveymonkey here at school, easy to build and deploy. Great tool.

    This is an awesome resource for web 2.0's to use in the classroom. It has a lot of great ideas for multiple uses. Great Post Amy.
  •  
    I have came across this resource before as well and seemed to really enjoy it. I really enjoyed how it incorporated mobile tools, community tools, as well as presentation tools. I feel this is a very beneficial tool in which I could use in my future classroom. Another thing that I really enjoyed about this resource was the fact that it not only targeted teachers, but also included admins, parents, and students as you mentioned. Great find!
  •  
    I have explored this site before. It is a good one, in my opinion! It has many great resources for teachers and students. I really like how it has specific links to all Web 2.0 tools. This would be very efficient for busy teachers who need resources about technology and how to incorporate it into lessons. I have not come across any other site that highlights all the major components of Web 2.0 tools.

    Great tool to help with discussions to avoid sidebars. Allows students to make comments or ask questions that can be addressed at a later.

    Today's Meet is a great tool to use with students in the classroom and teacher's during PL Days.
  •  
    I really like this resource. It reminds me of CoveritLive, which I used before it went to a pay service. This seems very easy to use, and I look forward to finding out a way to implement this into my classroom. Another teacher at my school just the other day wanted to know an alternative to CoveritLive and now I have one. Thank you.

    I used this tool, in addition to Twitter, for technology training to introduce the idea of backchannels for K-12 administrators. They loved it.
  •  
    I think this could effectively be used in a virtual classroom in my future because my students could get on with their presentation, have it available for viewing by me and his or her classmates, and I can get on and edit it if needed. I believe this resource is for both teacher and student use, as students must get on with their presentations, or the teacher could, and they could make comments and give feedback on one anothers' work. This reminds me a lot of Adobe Connect!

Teaching Materials, eBooks, Educational Videos, Games - GoEd Online - 2 views

    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).

YouTube Editor - 0 views

    This is YouTube's free video editing Web 2.0 program.  Students and teachers could use this to create and store online media for classes.  Many schools have Google accounts for their students that could be used to access the YouTube video editor as long as administrator provided the proper permissions.  This could also be a free alternative to programs districts must pay for like iMovie or WeVideo.

    I know someone else already posted this, but it was such a great find (and I did not know it existed!!) that I had to bookmark it for myself. I am posting this for totally selfish reasons, and not for use with my students exclusively. Although, I am sure I could use this editor to enhance instructional videos, or my students could use it to enhance videos they may create as projects. Currently, I'm excited to use it for myself, for current class projects. =X

Google For Educators - 2 views

    A great source for collaborative tools for both teachers and students. One of the coolest parts of GFE is the lesson plan search!! Can easily search for what you're looking for in a lesson plan and come up with many ideas and outlines to get you started.

    Coolest think about Google for Educators? Lesson plan search!
  •  
    Google in Education is a great resource for students and teachers. It provides authentic opportunities for students, tutorials, and lesson ideas for teachers.
  •  
    This resource would be great to use in my future classroom! I really like how it has classroom tools for teachers and students. I think this would be a great tool for educators to use and refer to. This bookmark could be used both by teachers and/or students. However, I think that educators would gain most from it. Teachers then could transfer knowledge of tools and applications to students in classroom content lessons. From my experiences, "Discovery Education" is somewhat similar in regards to having many resources available for students, administrators, and educators.
  •  
    Google for Educators is a very good tool for teachers to use, i liked the way it organized, it is easy to research and find what you want, classroom videos are awesome tools to use.
  •  
    Just FYI: sorry if this gets posted twice. I accidentally posted these far before the assignment was due, and wanted to ensure they are still visible on the group.

    A great look at testing in the state of Minnesota.  It is a sad fact, but this is a good, objective view of the world as we see it.
