I think I will give this one a try! I watched the tutorial and looks easy to organize work, personal and school to-do lists.

I just signed up for this application. As a busy teacher, and now a busy graduate student, I need a place to compile all of my thoughts. Without a 1:1 initiative this would be hard for students to use. It seems best adapted for laptop and computer use. It does teach good skills, however, like breaking up big tasks into smaller tasks, and writing an outline. This system reminds me of Getting Things Done, which is based on a series of file folders. I have tried creating something similar with Evernote. Maybe this program and Evernote would play nicely together? I will give it a try and write a blog post about it if it works.

This is an e-reader that allows you to pose questions to students and enhance the text with pop-up text, video, images, etc. You can create a class and there are ready-made readings aligned to Core standards.

Educators rate and review apps, games, websites, etc and explain how they are using them in the classroom.

Abby - This looks like a nice teacher site. It's nice to read a quick blurb about what the sites are along with the rating. I liked that there was a section of the site to connect apps to common core standards. This could be very helpful and I appreciate that I can start with the standard (objective) and connect it to the technology. I think sometimes teachers start with a cool piece of tech and try to make it fit in their curriculum and it becomes more of a bell and whistle than a purposeful use of technology.

Sarah I agree! I will admit that sometimes I see something so cool that I want to use, but am not sure it really fits.

Blog by David Andrade with resources available to all teachers. He also explains how to use some of those resources for the newbie techies.

An aggregate of online courses, this handy site includes 'learning paths' which group disparate courses into a logical series for smart progression in learning.

Great pile of information for making use of Twitter as an educator. Wow! Tons of stuff here to help you dig through the tons of stuff in the Twittersphere.

Similar to Twitter, but without ads. Create a cell for a class, have discussions over content, take notes, share information and more.

This seems like a great resource Abby. I've been trying to find Twitter replacements, since our district blocks Twitter and most other social media sites. Do you have experience using this? I'd love to know more.

Although my district does not block Twitter, I see this as a great tool for lower elementary kids.

"Must have" Web 2.0 tools for every classroom!  

Great resource!

Create and share collections of engaging web resources with your students. Browse courses in the K-12 Community Library to get started.

This site allows students to choose artwork from the site and then create a story.

This is a fun way for elementary students to make their own stories online. There are different backgrounds and characters for the students to select. I have used this with my own students and they liked that they were able to share their online book with their parents at home.

Storybird is a tool to create digital stories.
