A great source for collaborative tools for both teachers and students. One of the coolest parts of GFE is the lesson plan search!! Can easily search for what you're looking for in a lesson plan and come up with many ideas and outlines to get you started.

Google for Educators is a very good tool for teachers to use, i liked the way it organized, it is easy to research and find what you want, classroom videos are awesome tools to use.

Just FYI: sorry if this gets posted twice. I accidentally posted these far before the assignment was due, and wanted to ensure they are still visible on the group.

This website has a great number of resources for Elementary Teachers.  There are teaching materials, free printables, literacy centers, etc.

I really enjoyed looking into this due to the fact that their are many resources within this. I am able to use this website to broaden my resources for lessons plans. I too plan to teach in the elementary school so this is something I will most definitely use this for my future classroom.

This website seems to have great tips for management and lessons. I love the laundry basket idea for reading books. Sometimes you just need a lesson plan reference and this site had lots!

A Wiki to share lesson plans and look for curriculum ideas. A quick search generates many options, downloadable and ready to go!

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.

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. :)

This website is a marketplace for educators. It is a resource to get materials of various kinds to be used in the classroom. This can range from classroom management, labels, lesson plans, paperwork used in the classroom, forms, etc. Some items are free and some must be bought. These materials can be printed and used or be used as framework for a teacher who is looking to create their own materials but doesn't know where to begin and can use these as a template.

I have been to this site and there are some great things on here, but I have a little bit of a problem with teachers selling their lessons. If this is what you want to do then create something that can be sold commercially. I am not really sure why this strikes me as wrong but it just doesn't sit right somehow. I would gladly share my ideas with others, but if I want to make money off my ideas I would go to the work to present it in a manner that those purchasing would have some assurance that what they are purchasing has some educational value, meets goals and standards and has been tested and refined. Personal opinion, like I said at the beginning there is great free stuff on here too, check it out and see what there is to offer.

This wiki is for teachers to gain lesson plans, unit plans, videos, and standards. Teachers can search for the concept they're looking for and access lessons created by teachers. 

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.

Arizona Technology Integration Matrix

This site has a forum for asking questions of other teachers. Tons of writing lesson ideas, bulletin boards, writing prompts, journaling and so much more. Many different levels.

This is a good way to do intensive planning to integrate technology into your classroom, or to plan technology lessons.  It is a K-12 resource and includes video examples of classrooms.

What a great reference tool for any teacher, not just technology users.

Wow! This is seriously a great planning resource. This should be utilized for this course, as an additional resource to look at how to more effectively integrate some of the technology we are learning about into our own lesson planning. I am bookmarking this onto my own lists, right now. Obviously a tool for teachers more than for students, I will be using this for a unit planning assignment I'm doing in my Human Relations course right now! Thanks for sharing!

Safe to use! It's free to use and share these resources. The information and lessons come from all around the world, and there are over 50,000 documents all organized by grade level and subject.

This website has everything you could ever ask for as a teacher. There are lesson plans, free materials, and just helpful hints that will come in handy in the classroom!

This wiki is a great search tool for managing, assessing or lesson plan help in the classroom. The authors of the website are real teachers that want to help other teachers, so they created this wiki to do just that. Check it out!

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.

If you haven't heard of Khan Academy I definitely think it's worth checking out. I'm under the impression that it is popular for many, many students. Who knows, maybe your students will be visiting this website that delivers free lessons on a variety of subjects! Even better, maybe it will you help create content specific knowledge.

This website is great our students visit either the app or website on a daily basis. Its just not for math, we have students looking up science and english. Its also a great resource if you are thinking of flipping your classroom.

On this wiki you will find a collection of various topics and various shared lesson plans. Feel free to add your own lesson plans and see what other teachers are up to in their social studies classroom.

A wiki design around special education, specifically early childhood special education and helping educators to best meet the needs of all learners. Great place for resources and lesson ideas.

Blog with classroom strategies and tips, even lesson plan ideas.

Reading and writing tips, ideas, and lessons for teachers.

Thanks for sharing this site, Haley! I love the free "student interactives" given under the resources tab; I just had a lot of fun exploring some of those -- especially the "printing press" which I am actually adding to my own bookmarks....it looks like a cool way to get students interested in writing, and incorporating an "app" to make their publications look more professional. Definitely something I'd like to use in my upcoming student teaching, or my own classroom! :)

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.
