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).

This is a really cool website with a lot games for students to practice reading and writing skills.  My level two class used this resource a lot in class. 

This is a great FREE resource that discusses the idea of safe internet behavior. There are plenty of resources for the teacher to teach lessons that go along with an online game/component.

This is Dr. Zietz blog and he blogs about video games and virtual classrooms. He has a lot of knowledge in the use of video games in the classroom along with virtual classes. He also discusses a lot about general technology in the classroom. Most of you know who he is check him out!

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.

This is "The Tech Savvy Educator's" blog in which I follow. He includes a lot of everyday and current topics in which I find useful for a lot of my Ed. Tech classes. 

Very interesting reading on timely topics for classroom teachers! After reading through several of his posts, I subscribed to his RSS feed. The posts provided food for thought about using technology in the classroom. The posts that immediately caught my attention, that I could put to use in my classroom, were about creating an instant online photo gallery and creating a low budget green screen. However, the most interesting post was "Learning + Video Games ≠ Gamification" that included a video of James Paul Gee and his thoughts on using gaming in education and as assessments.

This blog is very interesting! I particularly like seeing how different content areas have their own tab - very neat and organized for specialized content teachers. This blog could be used efficiently in my future classroom because of its informative resources and ideas. This blog is probably more for teacher use since it is all about integrating technology into classrooms. I am not familiar with any other blog that has such informative resources and ideas that help educators to facilitate technology more in their lessons.

This site gives activities for the Common Core math standards. Activities encourage the understanding of learning new skills through games. This could be used in small group settings in the classroom. 

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.
