    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.

    This is a cool Wiki that has a lot of great resources for Web 2.0 ideas that can be used in the classroom or for personal use.

    This is a great list of tools for collaboration. As we begin to plan for our classroom using some new tools and bringing technology into the Iowa Core, this site will come in handy. A great place to look for tools when you are doing your planning.

    This website creates word clouds and is often used to begin concept mapping or brainstorming. Students can list words that connect with each other and create a visual. Word clouds can be altered by size of the words, color, and shape.

    I've always liked this site, but often forget about it. I think kids enjoy brainstorming and creating these. I think for World Languages it has great potential as kids often just need fun ways to practice and recall words! These are also fun to save and post on class blogs, wikis, etc.

    This is a great site for creating truly beautiful word clouds. It has some amazing implications for classroom use with both a traditional word cloud and some crazy uses I have seen on blogs and at conferences. It is specifically helpful in the classroom to help students see commonalities with text. I really believe that this resource is mostly for student use. They can create their own word clouds, screen shot them, and save them for projects in the future. It provides a simple, but elegant, workflow and space for students to create. The FAQ section also provides some nice work arounds and ideas as well. There are a few similar sites out there that have cropped up, but this one is really the granddaddy of them all and probably the best one too. When was the last time you made a word cloud?

    I really love this cite. It's a great way to create a project, poem, presentation, etc. in a unique way. This is a great resource for both students and teachers. Students can use it as an alternate way to complete an assignment and teachers as an alternate way to present instruction. I myself use it often for my words wall words of the week. Thanks for sharing Kelsey.
  • Ann Hansen on 13 Nov 12
     
    Thank you Kelsey for posting this, I've seen these word clouds on websites and other places but didn't know how to make them. Now I don't have to look any further. I think this resource will be something that I could use in my classroom. It may be a tool used so students can see what words they use most in their writing or for a poetry unit. It is definitely something that I can see myself using for graphic works, either on a blog, yearbook page, or poster. This is something that I feel both students and teachers can use, but mostly students. I know there are similar sites out there, but not sure what they are.

    I love this cite to do word wall words and other things. I used it a great deal last year but had forgotten about it. It is not only a good resource for the teacher but the kids love it to. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this site.

    This website is a helpful resource for teachers with topic such as: using wikis for the first time, using wikis for specific purposes, and how to introduce wikis to students. It is a site that would be perfect to look over to gain more information on the tool before you begin implementing it into the curriculum.
  • Marty Mark on 18 Oct 12
     
    This is a very useful site that can assist developers and teachers with incorporating wikis into courses. Practical and effective suggestions are detailed, with sample wiki projects effectively supplementing the strategies presented.
  • Adam Hinrichsen on 30 Oct 12
     
    This is an excellent resource for teachers who are planning to use wikis in their classroom. It has everything from how to use them to preparing students to use them. Great resource and one I would definitely use in the future.

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that I can use this resource in the future of my own classroom. This resource gives great ideas on how to use blogging effectively and ways to get students blogging in the classroom. I like how it is organized by regions of the United States. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe this blog is mostly for teacher use, but its use for teachers explains how teachers can allow students to get into blogging or gives resources to help with their classroom teaching. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. I'm sure there are other blogs that compile great blogging resources, but I have not come across such a compiled list.
  • kirstinthompson on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is an intriguing list and looks like the various blogs deserve time to be looked at more. It is always interesting (if not therapeutic) to read from others "in the trenches." Two that I enjoyed reading were "TeachBad" and "TeachPaperless." Some good comic relief was provided, as well as some interesting ideas! I'm wouldn't say this site is really useful for students, but then again, maybe they'd be nicer to us if they read stuff like this. ::smile::

    This resource is an awesome compilation of great teacher blogs from around the country and world. It can totally be used as a resource for students as they begin to learn how to blog or for those aspiring to be on that list to reach a little higher! This resource is mainly one for teacher use, but all the ideas inside these blog links makes it readily apparent and available to be used in a current classroom. There are a number of similar lists out there (take a look and blog the title and a few come up) so this is not a one of a kind list; however, it is expansive and does provide a good list of HS teachers to follow and their regions. Cool idea for sure! How many of these are you going to follow now?
  • Amy Christian on 13 Nov 12
     
    Randon, I'm sure I'll end up following quite a few. Unfortunately I haven't had time to delve too deeply into the list. It is on my to do list though! :)
  • Jane Becker on 13 Nov 12
     
    Excellent source for teachers. I shared this with our English teacher who does things with blogs and wiki's in her classroom. She was very excited for new material to use. There are many different and unique topics in this site which she had never seen before.

    Excellent source for gaining an understanding of Copyright and Fair Use

    Great resource for teacher to keep up to date regarding copyright and fair use. This reminded me of the video by Eric Faden of Bucknell University, "A Fair(y) Use Tale," I use with students when we begin talking about copyright and fair use. After looking through this site I shared the bookmark to this video with the group. Thanks for the great resource!

    This resource gives you 10 excellent web tools that you can incorporate into your classroom. Some of them are fairly familiar but others may not be. This site describes each of the tools to give you some information about them so you are not completely lost. This list is worth keeping around!
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    Interesting list of apps, but it was a great beginning list for sure. I don't see the comment from Samir here so it is hard to disagree or agree, but I do personally believe that some of these tools can be used in our classrooms. I can totally see and have had students use Animoto and a few of the other tools in the classroom before. This is mainly a teacher tool because it provides a link to the resource and then provides a description. There are many sites out there that boast a similar idea, but this one comes from a credible source and is well done overall.
