I know someone else already posted this, but it was such a great find (and I did not know it existed!!) that I had to bookmark it for myself. I am posting this for totally selfish reasons, and not for use with my students exclusively. Although, I am sure I could use this editor to enhance instructional videos, or my students could use it to enhance videos they may create as projects. Currently, I'm excited to use it for myself, for current class projects. =X

This is the pin board on Pinterest for the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE). They put up all kinds of educational technology resources for both teachers and students, and it's nice to know these pins/recommendations are from a credible source!

VoiceThread can be used in a variety of ways, educationally. Clearly, use by those in post-secondary education (as done in Technology in Education) is a fun way to enhance online courses. K-12 teachers can also use VoiceThread to present ideas for their classrooms and dialogue with other teachers. Or, teachers could ask their students to participate in "flat classroom" projects, using VoiceThread to do presentations for and get feedback from other students across the globe. A dynamic, multi-use collaboration tool for anyone involved in education at any level.

This blog provides education news, analysis and commentary. I enjoy having this resource because some of the bent is more conservative than my own and I enjoy being able to diversify my knowledge base and perspectives.

An education policy blog I like to read up on during class breaks. ;)

News and Information about topics on Education from the NYTimes.com -- I personally feel it's important for teachers to stay up-to-date on current educational policy, controversy, and trends. NYTimes Ed section is a great way to do this and keep yourself a relevant and informed educator!

A great source for collaborative tools for both teachers and students. One of the coolest parts of GFE is the lesson plan search!! Can easily search for what you're looking for in a lesson plan and come up with many ideas and outlines to get you started.

Coolest think about Google for Educators? Lesson plan search!

This is the YouTube channel specific to education. Can be used by teachers to brush up on their own knowledge of some primary subjects. Some vids are appropriate to be incorporated into the classroom for students to view - potential for use in Webquests.

A bookmark for the YouTube Education channel - see description for more info.
