This wiki holds an enormous amount of information pertaining to 21st century learning, learning styles, Bloom's taxonomy, learning styles, Web 2.0 tools, and more. I have only begun to view all of the pages of this wiki. I really like the starter sheets and rubrics for Bloom's digital taxonomy. K-12 or higher ed.

This wiki provides resources for project-based learning.

Collaborize Classroom is an online Web2.0 tool that allows teachers to facilitate and create distributed learning communities for their classes.  This is a forum for students to blog on questions from class and extend their learning beyond the classroom.

Hmmm, have never heard of this before, but I like the look of it! I think it's great that a site like this can offer a UDL twist to online work for students, while also cutting down on grading time for the teacher. As a TA this semester, I have finally seen firsthand the incredible amount of time that goes into grading! I never understood why teachers hated it so much, but...I do now! I'm sure most web 2.0 classroom discussion tools have this sort of tracking feature for grading purposes (like ELearning here at UNI, for example). I love that this is a free tool! I do wonder how successfully students would utilize threaded discussion or other online learning environments such as this one in K-6 environments. I think it would be fun to experiment with and perhaps do some serious research and publishing on the results of such an experiment. All about being a teacher-researcher, and this is certainly something I could see myself trying to bring into my own classroom, especially if I was ever teaching in a flipped classroom environment...

I like the setup of Collaborize Classroom and definitely see the advantages of using it in the classroom. Unfortunately, I think our students are overwhelmed with new LMS systems, web 2.0 tools, and websites that they would probably not be very receptive to this site. If CC was easily integrated into a LMS interface, then I would consider using it, but at this point I will keep it on my radar for future use.

An excellent resource for those in the Special Education field. Provide information on all aspects of having a student or child with special needs.

This website explains challenge based learning and provides examples of how that can be carried out in the classroom.

This is a great blog that combines world language learning and technology.  A good resource for any teacher, however.  Interesting international perspectives.

This website is the home base for College Community Digital Learning Professional Development for Train the Trainer Sessions in October 2012. Provides ideas, tools, and examples for integrating technology into content areas in authentic ways.

EdTech Teacher Resource starts with the learning goals, provides tool suggestions, descriptions, examples, usefulness ratings, and ease of use ratings. This website is an excellent resource for any teacher integrating technology in the classroom.

I really like this resource. I especially like how it asks you your goals and has solutions that could help with your lessons. Great for integration!

Wow! Great find. Like Andi, I like how it asks you your goals and then takes you straight there and then has ratings. I can see this being a great easy way for teachers to learn some new ways to introduce technology into lesson plans.

Wiki that addresses how to create a Personal Learning Network (PLN) using Web 2.0 Tools

I plan to teach my fellow teachers about PLN's later this year, this will be another great resource to help me get them started on their journey.

This would be a great resource for teachers to use with students. So many possibilities! It would be a perfect fit when learning about landforms in social studies.

Andi, Way cool site! I hadn't heard of this before. I can see where it would be of good use in the classroom. Lots of multimedia activity going on. Thanks for sharing.

Hello, Andi, and thanks for sharing. This is a great website, and I'm somewhat ashamed as a geography teacher that I didn't already know about it. I use Google Earth all of the time, and this website will supplement that well. I'll present this as well to our world history teachers in 6th grade as a potential resources as well. Thanks again.

An article which discusses how to bring out the best in your students during Project Based Learning. Some very good practical suggestions.

An article about how to better manage PBL in our classrooms. Solid, practical tips.

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.
