Teachers First: Resources for Teachers - 1 views

  •  
    This resource helps teachers find images that they can use in the classroom. This links teachers to many web 2.0 tools. 
  •  
    This website includes web resources, lesson plans, and units in a "user-friendly" way. Easy to figure out and search though, this site is clear and to the point with a lot of helpful resources.
  •  
    What a great resource! Sometimes I rely on googling too much and therefore tend to miss some of the best content available; such as this website. Thank you for sharing!

    This wiki is an open education resource that allows you to connect with other educators around the world and access to free resources. In order to download free materials you are required to join the wiki. It looks like a great resource for classroom teachers of any level or content area. There were even special interest groups you could join such as STEM, New Teachers, Technology Integration, and many more. Lots and lots of resources to look through!

    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 for my classroom. It provides many resources for teachers including lesson plans to implement into their teaching. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe it is mostly for teacher use as a means of gathering resources to implement into teaching. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. I have seen websites like this, including teacherspayteachers.com and smartboard.com.
  •  
    I totally agree that this resource will be efficiency to my future classroom, very helpful resource in math for teachers and students. this is a global website, teachers contribute from many different countries.
  •  
    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.

100 High School Teacher Blogs To Start Reading - Edudemic - 3 views

  •  
    This is an excellent list of 100 blogs written by high school teachers. Many interesting blogs that would interest anyone in education and especially middle/high school educators. Blogs cover various educational topics and there is definitely something for everyone!

    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?
  •  
    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.

Technology Integration Matrix - 5 views

  •  
    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.

    Hey Mel, I have also seen one similar to these from Arizona. It, too, included examples of lessons and videos. Whenever you have concrete examples, the abstract ideas seem more realistic.
  •  
    Great planning resource for classroom teachers. This is a resource I will share with teachers in my building. I hadn't seen a matrix like this that included video from the classroom.
  •  
    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!

Wordle: Word Clouds - 0 views

  •  
    This website creates word clouds and is often used to begin concept mapping or brainstorming. Students can list words that connect with each other and create a visual. Word clouds can be altered by size of the words, color, and shape.

    I've always liked this site, but often forget about it. I think kids enjoy brainstorming and creating these. I think for World Languages it has great potential as kids often just need fun ways to practice and recall words! These are also fun to save and post on class blogs, wikis, etc.
  •  
    This is a great site for creating truly beautiful word clouds. It has some amazing implications for classroom use with both a traditional word cloud and some crazy uses I have seen on blogs and at conferences. It is specifically helpful in the classroom to help students see commonalities with text. I really believe that this resource is mostly for student use. They can create their own word clouds, screen shot them, and save them for projects in the future. It provides a simple, but elegant, workflow and space for students to create. The FAQ section also provides some nice work arounds and ideas as well. There are a few similar sites out there that have cropped up, but this one is really the granddaddy of them all and probably the best one too. When was the last time you made a word cloud?
  •  
    I really love this cite. It's a great way to create a project, poem, presentation, etc. in a unique way. This is a great resource for both students and teachers. Students can use it as an alternate way to complete an assignment and teachers as an alternate way to present instruction. I myself use it often for my words wall words of the week. Thanks for sharing Kelsey.
  •  
    Thank you Kelsey for posting this, I've seen these word clouds on websites and other places but didn't know how to make them. Now I don't have to look any further. I think this resource will be something that I could use in my classroom. It may be a tool used so students can see what words they use most in their writing or for a poetry unit. It is definitely something that I can see myself using for graphic works, either on a blog, yearbook page, or poster. This is something that I feel both students and teachers can use, but mostly students. I know there are similar sites out there, but not sure what they are.
  •  
    I love this cite to do word wall words and other things. I used it a great deal last year but had forgotten about it. It is not only a good resource for the teacher but the kids love it to. Thanks for refreshing my memory on this site.

Free Technology for Teachers: 5 Sources of Free Sound Effects and Music - 2 views

  •  
    It's always great to have sources for free sound effects and music.
  •  
    I agree that this could be used in the future classroom because I could use songs to get my students engaged in my lessons. I could download a song with lyrics that have the concepts of one of the units we are currently working on. I also think this is strictly for teacher use because they are the ones presenting it to the students in order to get them engaged. I have never heard of any other resource close to this!
