Kelly-
There are some great tools listed here. Be forewarned that it looks like they don't maintain this site so many links are broken. Still a good place to poke around.
I am super impressed with this teachers online class page. She has great resources linked here that might be able to help us, though many of them we have already looked at. BUT another look is always good.
Tons of resources for all teachers, k-12, all subjects! TeachersFirst offers a rich collection of lessons, units, and educator-reviewed web resources designed to save teachers time by delivering just what they need in a practical, user-friendly, and ad-free format. Every resource includes ideas for how to use it effectively in the classroom.
There are a HUGE number of tools here. I wonder when folks will raise the white flag and yell "UNCLE"? I can understand why folks would just avoid wading through so many options in favor of maintaining the classroom status quo. But definitely worth poking through some of these resources.
This site has a list of LOTS of tools to use in the classroom and out. Not all, I think, qualify as 2.0, but they all might be useful either way. Photo, slideshow, video, social etc. The page isn't a program itself, but a portal to find programs.
While the large solar storm that hit Earth last week delivered only a minor blow, the planet wasn't so lucky in 1859. Discover the rich history of St. Patrick's Day, a tradition that began as a religious holiday in Ireland over 1,000 years ago.
This document references using Glogster.com but the procedures are still pretty accuracte. It migt be a useful link to share with students or to serve as a template doucment for any self-help handout you might create.

There is a huge buzz about flipping the classroom. I heard it at the NCTM math conference and our Math chair is very interested in it. The idea is why have them in class doing what they can do at home-- listening and watching. Class time should be for answering questions on the material and conducting projects and explorations.
I saw this structure in downtown Portland and read the information shown here. It mentions the original sculpture is one sixteenth the size of this. Search for my YouTube video on bao bao math problem

Hi JoAnne -
The MTTS are the cornerstone of the planning for Teacher Technology Training. They are very helpful guidelines but they were developed several years ago. I wonder if we would revisit them?
JoAnne-
I would make the argument that no teacher should require students to produce a project that will incorporate media or web content unless they ALSO provide information on how to use Creative Commons material. Good work!
During math in Bill Donovan’s 4th grade class, students rotate between
workstations working on quick-response math exercises. Some are using math-drill
apps on the iPad, iPod touches, or laptops. And some are using old-fashioned
pencil and paper.
