A great look at testing in the state of Minnesota.  It is a sad fact, but this is a good, objective view of the world as we see it.

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.

This a great wiki organized by subject, grade level or topic---and has good descriptions and images of the apps.  There are also links directly to the apps on itunes---good source for those looking for apps in a new way!

Hi Mel, Great resource. More sites like this need to be out there to help teachers sift through the thousands of programs available and get to the usable ones that have been tested by teachers. I think I may have got this link from you before. I did share it with a few of our principals so they may pass it on to their teachers.

Educational Resource for teachers and students alike

Wow, what a cool resource. I definitely think that I could use this in my middle school social studies classes. The articles are very accessible in terms of the reading level. Thanks for the great resource, and I'll definitely be sure to link my students to this website.

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 is a great, but controversial article about iPads being used in schools.  Read between the lines and see what you think!
