    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.

    Website that gives reading activities based on the concepts of reading. This site has great printable resources for teachers to use in the classroom and quickly assess different reading concepts in a small group setting.

    I use this site when I am exploring books. Sometimes when I am planning a guided reading group, read aloud or just need an anchor text, I wil visit this site. It has some great resources.

    This is a nice resource. I am working hard to incorporate the common core into my classroom, and there is a lot of useful info here, including benchmark assessments, charts, and lesson ideas. There is also a good link to social studies online free resources.

    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?
  • Amy Christian on 13 Nov 12
     
    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.

    "Blogs every teacher should read" is probably the best thing I have ever Googled. I found the website onlineschools.org and a page called "100 Blogs Every New Teacher Should Read." I can really see this being useful now and in the future!

    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! :)

    I really enjoyed looking more into Mrs. Nessman's blog. I am a huge fan of blogs and love to get new ideas. I feel some of the best ideas are ones in which we find from other teachers. She provides a lot of creative ideas in which I could modify to use within my own future classroom. Thanks for sharing!
  • Amber Sandoval on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is a really neat blog! I always enjoy reading about new and creative ideas that I could possibly use in my future classroom. Mrs. Nessman's blog is very impressive and creative! I could definitely see myself using this blog as a reference when I am a teacher. I have not encountered any other blog that is this innovative. I can see many teachers learning much from Mrs. Nessman. Good find, Nicole!

    Thanks for sharing this blog. Although I am a Special Education teacher I still felt like their were a lot of ideas I could apply to my classroom. It's always fun to see what other educators out their are doing. This blog would be used primarily for teachers as its all about ideas in the classroom for instruction and projects. However you could use it to create a project choice list for you students to choose to complete so many by the end of the year.

    Interesting article on a teacher's decision to end using the flipped classroom model.  Also, the article refers to a student-centered approach, not a teacher-centered approach. 
  • Tiffany Waller on 11 Nov 12
     
    The flipped classroom is something that I have been interested in doing when I become a teacher so I find this interesting. I saved it to look at more later but from what I read she did love some things about the flipped classroom and says that when she wrote about it in a previous post she doesn't disagree with anything she had written but that she has now decided to end it anyway. Looking at her reasons why she decided to end it, I think it seems it was more of just a personal preference than the fact that it didn't work well or that there were any major problems with it. It's definitely something I will read more carefully later on though!

    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.
  • Amber Sandoval on 13 Nov 12
     
    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 social networking blog by Pam Dyer has some really great infographics (think like graphics that actually provide relevant information in an educational way) that lend themselves to starting awesome classroom conversations. Talk to your students about social networking, the benefits and pitfalls of Facebook, why Instagram is taking over, and how to avoid being a terrible Twitter user. She does a fantastic job providing relevant and important information to the average consumer, but it impacts educators even more. Check it out for a good read!
