    Schoology offers a great place to let teachers communicate with students and staff through a "Facebook-style" LMS server. Schoology allows you to communicate with students, post tests, and grades to share with students and parents.

    Our school just adopted this LMS as we go 1-to-1 next year. I was on the team that selected which LMS to use and this one was selected for its interface and ease of connection with google drive. Therefore, it is extremely effective in keeping students organized with their classes. I like how it promotes consistency between teachers. This tool promotes a new type of blended learning environment that increases collaboration between teachers and between students. As i mentioned there are other LMS to consider. But this one was the right choice. (This was also the cheapest option for the district which was just a coincidence, I'm sure ;-)

    A learning platform for schools to use for administration of curriculum, content, assignments, and a platform for collaboration and communication.

    I realize this is one of the initial ones for an example, but my district uses it already and I have a lot of examples to share for my blog post!

    This would be a good communication tool to use to keep parents and students updated on a variety of sites/media without having to post to multiple locations.

    Could be used as a learning management system! Lessons, games, and activities are linked to my textbook. Interactive and allows me to be a part of a learning community and share ideas, resources, and lessons.

    This allows teachers to hold a forum. Students can reply with audio or text to a question. They can even draw on the existing image to make a point. Others in the group can then respond in turn.
  • abigailmfish on 07 Jun 14
     
    As you could tell from our class using it, I think this would be great for small group discussions versus the whole class. I could see this being used efficiently for a group presentation that the students would create and then have another group comment on the voice thread for pointers on what to consider, etc. This resource is definitely both uses depending on how you set it up whether it is a teacher forum or a student led forum.

    Great site to use for collaborative projects. So many ways to share and communicate.

    Skype in the classroom gives students and teachers a free and safe way to communicate with other students, educators, authors, or others who want to have input in the classroom!
  • Rob Green on 09 Jun 14
     
    I didn't know this existed! As Skype accounts are so prevalent, I could see as a teacher using this to Skype with a sister classroom somewhere else in the country (or world!) for project collaboration. Also it would be useful for interacting with an 'expert' in the field somewhere, using their desktop or smartphone Skype app. Other possibilities are Facetime, Google Hangout, and Zoom, but I believe Skype is the easiest one to configure.

    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.

    Amanda, this looks like a great resource for elementary teachers. Have you had a chance to play around with this site more yet? I'd like to find more "chat" sites to communicate and connect with other elementary teachers. Wiki's are a great place to find free resources.

    One of the most popular resources for teaching basic programming. The platform is web based and simple enough to get started with that students would need little to know instruction to get started. The site offers many resources for teachers and students, and there is also a downloadable version to use when internet is not available.
