Ashley, Great article that states many great ideas for educators. We are always looking to new and unique ways to bring different things into the classroom. This is a great source to help spread the word of things that work well for others that may for you. We are also looking to throw away things that don't and use new things that may - each situation is different and unique. Thanks for sharing this site

A great resource for teachers of students who have special needs. This resource provides excellent lessons, ideas for using assistive technology, games for students, and themes/units.

Animoto is a creative way to share videos, music, photos, and presentations and turn them into videos.

Ashley, Animato is a great way to make and share a video in a short period of time. I have used Animato with students and they love the ease of program. I used this with HS students, but I know that our grade school teachers have used it as young as fourth grade. Great program - Thanks

A great list of resources to get your kids and you in the back to school mindset.

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. :)
