    While much of this site is just plain silly, or even inappropriate, this is still a fun site.  The art section is great and can get kids looking at famous paintings and talking about them - a good resource for language teachers.

    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.

E.gg Timer - simple online countdown timer - 0 views

  •  
    Teachers need structure, kids need structure, everyone needs a virtual egg timer!  This is a simple timer that works great with an interactive white board.  Type in any amount of time in the box and click 'start.'  Kids can easily look up and see how much time they have left and/or wait for the buzzer.  Works great for playing games like charades, etc.  Also worked well with high school students and timing speeches.

    "As much as we all love online learning and utilizing technology in the classroom for the benefit of our students, there comes a time when the best way to teach a subject is to get your hands dirty and just make something."

    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.
  •  
    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?
  •  
    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! :)
  •  
    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.
