    The is a new approach to capturing, connecting and sharing data about learning resources available online with the goal of making it easier for educators and students to access the rich content available in our ever-expanding digital universe. Today large collections of learning resources sit online, waiting to be accessed.

    I really liked the site. Just looking at the partners to this network, I came across European School Net (http://www.eu.org), as well as many organizations and government entities in the U.S. KW

J.K. Rowling's Speech at Harvard Commencement - 0 views

    Check out this inspirational speech about the importance of failure. The video is especially valuable for educators, although I would also use it in an honors class or with any group of students exhibiting fear of risk.

    This site is so much fun to design for students and even parents. It has awesome color themes and backdrops and offers a really fun way to get across information. It's like a homepage you can create with links to other sites, videos, pictures and more. Our school has a page and the kids really enjoy using it for library resources and etc. I am going to be using this for my class page this fall. I think this site is targeted for fifth grade and up. Younger students may be able to use some of the basic features, but it would require some instruction from the teacher.
  •  
    I have used Glogster to replace a paper poster in the classroom. The students really enjoyed the chance to have a different presentation of a product.

    This was my favorite site for taking a minute to have a little fun after a particularly intense lesson. The videos are short, cute, and educational and there are resources for teachers.

    Thanks for this - my own children have used this and love it. I keep meaning to add it to my list of things to explore. I like how the English section has different areas for grammar, writing etc.
  •  
    I like the site, I started exploring it and noticed that I can easily spend much time on it without realizing it.
  •  
    There is also BrainPop Jr. (http://www.brainpopjr.com/) for the younger levels. I love the site as a review or introduction for any concepts that we are teaching.
  •  
    My kids love BrainPop! I think there may have even been a Wii version of this game. :)
  •  
    Very cool, I didn't know Social Studies was on Brain Pop. I'm excited to use it in the classroom.

      Here's a tool that might be helpful to make sure we share and assess - says is saves time too!
    • Brittany Slusarczyk
       
      We also use the app Notability in my school. We were able to easily upload our state rubric. The app allows you to highlight it, comment on it, attach websites etc. then send it off to students.

Edmodo | Where Learning Happens | Sign up, Sign In - 0 views

      Edmodo is a great tool - I have used it to help to flatten my classroom this year and have two different grade levels work together. I use it to post my lesson agenda with links to the resources as well as homework, assignments etc. It links to Google, you can upload files, you can conduct polls, have a schedule - it is safe, it promotes collaboration and self-support - it is brilliant.
  •  
    Edmodo is also a great site to use for a class homepage. It's a good resources for students and teachers. We have Edline in our county but I think the personalization of this is better.

National Library of Virtual Manipulatives - 2 views

    This is a great source that provides the similar manipulatives that we use in math- digi blocks, fraction patterns, base tens blocks. Students can manipulate the resources online. In the homepage, you'll see that the manipulatives are organized by grade level and math topic.

Questia, Your Online Research Library - 0 views

  •  
    Questia is a library research tool for students to assist them in writing research papers.  Since most students do not have easy access to databases with more reliable sources, Questia provides students with tools to improve their research skills.  The site also provides students with tutorials to help them improve their writing and researching.  I have begun to implement some resources to help my high schools students improve their research skills, which is an area they often struggle in.  This seems to be the most promising tool for achieving that goal.
  •  
    I am going to check this out. Thanks Jared - I teach research writing and am always looking for ways to help my learners to organise themselves and ways for me to make the process clearer.

    This software is a game-based program that works on many areas in mathematics. the targeted grade levels are 1-5. I have used the software, and I found myself on it longer than expected. for the most part, I liked how the software is designed. I appreciate the gaming aspect of the software. It doesn't make you feel like you're just doing math work to do. I believe that the only thing that i wasn't to big on was that it doesn't really separate the different grade levels. They do breakdown the different math areas. Overall I would recommend this software.

Smithsonian EdLab - 4 views

    This resource is appropriate for all grade levels, as it contains a variety of routines that can be applied to a wide range of content. There are routines that address most of the different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, so it is easy to find one to fit your needs. I haven't used the resource yet myself, but certainly will in the future. In addition, the Digital Toolkit provides links to dozens of other digital tools and breaks down their uses in education. This is a great place to find other educational technology.

    I love this- thanks for sharing! The digital toolkit is a gold mine of resources. I particularly like how it gives additional information beyond just the link. I also like the role cards. Since I have trouble with students working in groups, this could be a fun way to assign jobs and attempt to keep things on track!
  •  
    Jared, Loved this site! I especially liked the thinking routine section. I enjoyed how direct and to the point it was. Thanks for sharing.
  •  
    This looks like a great resource - I will explore it in more detail. I do a lot of group work and am always looking for great ways to help learners organise themselves with this.

    I have used superteachertools.com as a way to create seating charts, random calling of students and create groups. This website is free and easy to use. Teachers just need to input the names of their students in each class before they can use the tools.
  •  
    This looks great! It will definitely make creating games MUCH easier! Bookmarking to my school laptop right now!!

    This DOES look great, thanks for sharing. It is a pity that so much is flash so you can't use it on iPads. Am going to explore this as it looks like it will help and save time.
