    This is something I have been looking into for our communications director - how does she "work" from home, but still access and work on FCP at school? This may be the solution.

YouTube Education Channel - 0 views

    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.

    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 a great resource for teachers! I always have trouble knowing what videos are more "educational" than others and this would be a great way to ensure you have good videos to show! I never knew there was a specific channel for education. I love how you can browse according to the subjects. I watched some of the videos and they seems great!

Google For Educators - 2 views

  •  
    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!
  •  
    Google in Education is a great resource for students and teachers. It provides authentic opportunities for students, tutorials, and lesson ideas for teachers.
  •  
    This resource would be great to use in my future classroom! I really like how it has classroom tools for teachers and students. I think this would be a great tool for educators to use and refer to. This bookmark could be used both by teachers and/or students. However, I think that educators would gain most from it. Teachers then could transfer knowledge of tools and applications to students in classroom content lessons. From my experiences, "Discovery Education" is somewhat similar in regards to having many resources available for students, administrators, and educators.

    Google for Educators is a very good tool for teachers to use, i liked the way it organized, it is easy to research and find what you want, classroom videos are awesome tools to use.
