Edmodo | Secure Social Learning Network for Teachers and Students - 2 views

  •  
    This website allows classes to connect and collaborate with each other.  Students and educators are able to access their homework, share content, and check their grades on this site.  I would use this for all subjects in order to keep in touch with students whenever they need me.

    This is a website that I definitely want to explore some more. It looks like it may have some great benefits. I could see using it with my classes in a community college setting.
  •  
    I really enjoyed exploring this website. I really like the fact that it is a secure website. We sometimes find websites in which can lead us to false information or unwanted information so I feel that this one is one that I would feel safe about including in my own classroom. Thank you for sharing.

    This website has a very extensive list of free resources. It is nice to have the descriptions. There are so many resources available; I have never heard of many of them. This site would be a great resource for a teacher who wanted to use a specific type of technology but had no idea what was available. I will definitely go to this site time and time again.
  •  
    Wow-what a great link! This has a ton of ideas with descriptions for online projects. I will use this often for integrating technology into my curriculum.

    This website is awesome! There are so many different resources here that could be used for many many different projects. It has a great variety as well of what the different resources are used for and can do.

    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!

Wikispaces - Wikis for Teachers - 1 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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
  •  
    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!

Khan Academy - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    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 
  •  
    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

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.

    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!

    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.
