    This wiki is an open education resource that allows you to connect with other educators around the world and access to free resources. In order to download free materials you are required to join the wiki. It looks like a great resource for classroom teachers of any level or content area. There were even special interest groups you could join such as STEM, New Teachers, Technology Integration, and many more. Lots and lots of resources to look through!

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that this resource could be used for my classroom. It provides many resources for teachers including lesson plans to implement into their teaching. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe it is mostly for teacher use as a means of gathering resources to implement into teaching. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. I have seen websites like this, including teacherspayteachers.com and smartboard.com.

    I totally agree that this resource will be efficiency to my future classroom, very helpful resource in math for teachers and students. this is a global website, teachers contribute from many different countries.
  •  
    Great resource! Although it states K-12, I think many of the ideas can be re-tooled for higher education also. It is so great to have the tools so readily available. Why try to reinvent the wheel? This resource shares great, tested ideas, and as you said, downloadable and ready to go!
  •  
    What a great resource! Thanks for sharing it with us. I will be able to use this resource as I create and plan my themed units for the year. I really like that I can search by theme and grade and then tie that directly to the core. This resource is primarily for teachers as it pertains to planning for instruction.

Partnership for 21st Century Skills - 1 views

  •  
    Partnership for 21st Century Skills is a good site to check out initiatives and goals for our future students.  Check out the resources tab or look at different state initiatives.
  •  
    This website is really a great resource for use in a future classroom, but not really a tool or something that can be immediately applied tomorrow. This is a complicated model that takes time and effort to restructure a curriculum to fit. This resource is mainly for teacher use and feedback because it outlines what the Partnership for the 21st Century Skills are and how they apply to the classroom. There are a few similar resources out there like this one, but overall this one is the best! It outlines specifically, with research attached, what needs to happen and how we can transform education. Interesting ideas and beneficial thoughts, but really hard to implement!

Teaching With Wikis - 1 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.

    Very nice table that tells which ELA common core standards are covered in each 3rd grade story in the Houghton Mifflin basal.  EXCELLENT resource for those of us just starting to use standards based grading and the core!!!
  •  
    Very cool table that lays out the curriculum for students, parents and other teachers. I hope the school I end up in has a lay out of the standards that they want ot cover in there school.

Free Technology for Teachers: Teach Your Monster to Read Helps Kids Learn to Read - 1 views

  •  
    This is an interesting free game to help young children to read. I am going to try this with my son who just turned 6 and is starting to learn to read. Claims to be the only site like this available but I haven't verified that. Great for teachers or parents. Adults sign up and add kids; kids are issued on password and parent/teacher can view progress.
  •  
    I have signed up for this site but have not had a chance to use it with my 5 year old yet. Looks like it has some great possibilities. I love the Free Technology for Teachers Blog as well, I have found many great things on there such as the StoryKit App for the iPad.
  •  
    This site has a lot of resources...including the Teach Your Monsters to read. Great resource for ways to include technology in your curriculum.

A is for app: iPads change landscape of learning - 0 views

  • But after seeing how easy the iPads are to use -- kids become their own experts by getting answers to their questions through YouTube videos or educational apps -- Pole changed her tune. Now she plans to get schooled on the iPad herself.

      This makes me wonder what they are really finding out answers to.  Also, is that the only thing they are using the iPads for?  Really!

      "More fun" that sounds like the iPads are being used for educational purposes for sure!  They must be a tool that connects directly to the curriculum.  Either the student does not get this or the reporter failed to understand why they are using iPads.

      No surprise there with the designation, but really - most are purchasing these devices without the proper pieces in place. Sad that it has taken the ed world by storm, but there is no idea how to actually include this in instruction...read on!
  •  
    This is a great article looking over the iPad craze and the Flipped Education idea in Minnesota schools.  It still makes me wonder what we are trying to teach out students by using these devices - What is the educational goal?  This article also points out the need for an investment in teacher training as an essential part of a technology program.  Check out the sticky notes and highlighting for more information.
