    A blog by a teacher with a trove of free tech resources for educators to use in their classrooms. Some are already well known, but a few interesting, obscure ones as well for custom applications in your classroom.

    Great way to get students started in organizing thoughts into words and posts. Excellent way to join and communicate with other teachers to share and collaborate with.

    Edmodo is a great resource. I have used it with my classes for 2 years. There is so much you can do with this site! I still haven't mastered everything that is available. It is also a great way to build your PLN by joining other groups. I love that it includes the ability to award badges. Kids are highly engaged with Edmodo and really enjoy posting to each other. I think this resource is equally shared between teachers and students, but even if you don't use it with your class, it is still a great way to connect with other educators around the world. Other than Facebook, which is less desirable because of the lack of teacher control, I am not aware of any similar resources for classroom teachers.

    I like the teacher control I can have and the collaborative environment. The security and control that makes it good is also it's limitation in exposure to the outside world.

    This is an awesome student source for beginning researchers. I spend a lot of time with my 9th graders vetting websites and this is a tool that can lead them to ideas faster. I see this being a great option for students in my class who need information but don't know where to start. Are there any other sources like this?
