This site has things to help students in many different areas.  From making conversions in measurements, online almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and more.  This would be a reference students could use in different content areas.

I know many schools have used this but it is all archived online for use. Students can learn about current events and then share what they learn with others.

Kenton - We used to be a channel.one school, but stopped viewing it last year. I love the current news - but hated all of the commercials. Can you view online without all of the commercials? This site reminds me of newela.com. It is a wonderful site for reading current non-fiction articles and is also related to common core standards. I like that you can select the reading level for students on the article. You can create classes and assign readings and it has quizzes, too. I haven't used any of those features. I just used the articles for read-alouds and they were high interest. I can see Channel One working well for history, but also for English. We need to teach students to be critical viewers as well as critical readers. Let's face it - a lot of information they will receive (for elections, ads of products to buy, etc.) will be visual. They need to know how to interpret information in this medium, too.

Kenton - I agree that this seems like it would be a good tool for students and educators. I think that students could watch the short videos and do reports on what kinds of things are happening in around the world. I think educators could use it to stay more informed as well. I had not heard of this resource before I saw your posting. Do they post new videos weekly? Also, how do they come up with their topics? Do people submit ideas of different topics they would like to hear more about?

"Use Sites to Plan club meetings and activities, share info on a secure company intranet, collaborate on a team project, or stay connected with family members

"The easiest way to brainstorm and document your thoughts and strategies."

This is a place where teachers can share lessons with each other and get paid for it!  There are lessons for any topic imaginable for most content areas. 

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.

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.

Edpuzzle allows you to take any video, either one you created or found, and customize it.  You can add comments to the video, stop it and ask questions, insert a quiz the students must take before moving on, etc. Great for a flipped classroom!

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.
