    A great education blog from an awesome source - CNN.  Good articles abound on this website and are easily categorized into columns as well.

    If you don't yet follow this blog on Twitter or Facebook then you should! Always some great stuff about education, schools, and well written overall. An awesome resource for a good Sunday morning read.

    This site is a great resource to help keep up on what is going on in education at all levels. I especially liked the recent article entitled, "5 Things Teachers Want Parents to Know". I really don't think this site is just for teachers but I think teachers will be the ones to use the site most. Teachers are very busy and don't always have time to read several news feeds to get our educational news, so its nice that its all right here.

    This is the educational blog of a principle of the science leadership academy in Philadelphia. I was reading some of the main blogs and I thought it was worth sharing with this class.

    A ning (kind of like a wiki) that is all about iPads in education.  Have a cool idea?  Join the ning and submit your own.

    Great resource for ideas and collaborating with other educators regarding the use of iPads in education through blogs, tips, discussions, and videos. Great job on your "QR Code Crime Scene" video you posted to the Ning!!! Excellent example of what is possible!! I joined the Ning and will share this with teachers using iPads in our school.

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that this resource could be used efficiently in my classroom. I have an iPad in my classroom and this website gives great ideas of apps to use. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe the resource is mostly for teacher use but allows teachers to find apps for student use. Teachers can find resources, download them, and then allow students to use them. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. Yes, I have also seen websites that provide lists of apps and have included them in my own library.

    This is a great resource and one that totally is worth checking out! This is for sure a tool that can be used in the classroom. It is chalked full of great ideas and awesome tools to use in the classroom. This is mainly a tool for teacher use, but it could also be a resource for students looking for a different way to complete a project. There are many different uses of such an amazing ning like this! There are some great other Nings out there, Facebook pages, groups on LMS sites like Schoology, and other websites out there that are similar. This one is unique because of the Ning platform for sure!

    iPad technology is a new teaching tool will be used by teachers in classrooms. if will be very beneficial for both teachers and students 
  • Ashley Ulin on 13 Nov 12
     
    I thought this resource was great and thought provoking for the educator that has access to i pads in the classroom. Not only could educators use this source but parents as well. I also agree with Randon that it has student uses as well. I agree with Randon as well that many other resources and social media pages such as facebook and twitter are available, however the creation of this site gives a different navigational system to explore.

    This is a great resource for teachers and students in the classroom. The more resources that we have the greater the level of learning can be. Teachers and students will benefit for this resource. Thanks for sharing

    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 blog follows the authors journey through learning about instructional technology. You follow him through discovering the variety of tools and applications as well as seeing his thoughts on each one. He ends up touching on any type of educational technology you can think of. This blog would be extremely helpful for teachers because you can search any topic and read his thoughts and research behind it.

    Great writing prompts. From The New York Times. What's Going On in This Picture? Could be used in class or students could post directly to The Times blog. Relevant for almost any age group.
  • Adam Hinrichsen on 30 Oct 12
     
    This is a really great idea that can be used or expanded upon in the classroom. This allows for students to think and share their thoughts without hearing a teacher's thoughts to push them in a certain direction.

    This web 2.0 tool has multiple possibilities. Here's just a couple I've thought of: 1) your students are doing a research project and 2) you want to connect with your students and/or students' parents. Easy, efficient, and technology based.

    Surveymonkey is a flexible, effective tool that can be used in a variety of settings. In addition to using it in the classroom and as a tool to reach out to parents, it could also be used administratively for research and strategic planning purposes.
  • Heather Klenke on 30 Oct 12
     
    Surveymonkey is flexible, and easy to use. Although when using it for a kiosk station you need to pay for a subscription fee but worth all the hassle. Another substitution is google forms too.

    We have used Surveymonkey here at school, easy to build and deploy. Great tool.

    This website is a site where teachers can go and create a wiki for their class.  I would use it for different subjects or just for my class as a whole.
  • Jane Becker on 14 Nov 12
     
    Good source to pass on to teachers looking to expand in their classroom. Neat examples that would benefit the teacher that is looking to challenge their students. I have been looking for something like this to help our English teacher wanting a good source with Wikis - Thanks
  • Haley McIntire on 15 Nov 12
     
    I thought this was a great, easy to understand resource. It also gives great examples. For me, it answered a lot of questions about wikis that I had. It also gives great ideas of how to use them. Overall, a very informative great website!

    Partnership for 21st Century Skills is a good site to check out initiatives and goals for our future students.  Check out the resources tab or look at different state initiatives.
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    This website is really a great resource for use in a future classroom, but not really a tool or something that can be immediately applied tomorrow. This is a complicated model that takes time and effort to restructure a curriculum to fit. This resource is mainly for teacher use and feedback because it outlines what the Partnership for the 21st Century Skills are and how they apply to the classroom. There are a few similar resources out there like this one, but overall this one is the best! It outlines specifically, with research attached, what needs to happen and how we can transform education. Interesting ideas and beneficial thoughts, but really hard to implement!

    This blog lists top documentary films for teachers or students to watch. Teachers can use these documentaries as a means of providing more information to students. The documentaries may not be suitable for all ages.
  • kirstinthompson on 13 Nov 12
     
    This site could have great potential, especially for high school science and social studies classes, based on the topics of the movies listed. It is great that you can watch the documentaries immediately and for free. Students might find this a useful resource for another type of research materials for projects. In my subject areas, I wouldn't use most of these, because we usually need to watch things in the target language, but some of the cultural topics might be relevant, such as some French speaking African countries, art, etc. I haven't ever thought to look for free documentaries online, I suppose there are more sites to check out!
  • Ann Hansen on 13 Nov 12
     
    Wow, what a great site. This is something that I think can really come in handy. There are often times when I or my fellow teachers are looking for something to help expand understanding or make connections with something they are learning. There is a large variety of categories to pick from and not just science and social studies. I think this definitely is a site for teachers, but I could see students using this site too for school projects. I'm going to be passing this one onto my fellow teachers. Thanks Kelsey for a useful resource.

    This looks like an awesome collection of tools many of which I have never heard of but an excited to go and check out. I like how they are all divided into categories making it easier to find sites in which you are interested.

    This is an awesome resource when looking for new tools in the classroom! I really liked the organization tools tab. I thought that it contained some really great resources, and I saw some that I will definitely use in my own classroom someday. Also, I really like that both teachers and students can use this website.

    This looks like a great resource. I was just thinking the other day how can I use the technologies and programs I don't know a thing about. This has it broken down really well and includes a summary with them. Very user friendly!

    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 is an "extra" bookmark I wanted to include because I thought it related to the modules we were working on.** Be sure to watch the video & listen to what the interviewees have to say. It will make you think! Is technology complicating our lives? Are people evolving to be addicted to technology? Does technology distract us? The "story highlights" on the left side of the article are also very interesting.
