One of my favorite video websites is TED. I know many of you are already acquainted with the name but to those who still do not have an idea what TED is all about I would say that you are missing out on an inestimable resource of great videos. TED has been internationally recognized and from different academic and professional bodies as one of the best educational websites. It features interviews with the smartest thinkers of our age. It touches upon every category from entertainment to education. I personally find it the right place to get the necessary inspiration and encouragement to improve and boost my self and professional development.

Another great collection of resources on scoopit

Technology has been with us since I've been a teacher. I started my career succumbing to the alluring aroma of the Gestetner (Ditto/Banda/spirit duplicator) machine and its purple stained sheet. Then the photocopier arrived and we didn't think it could get any better than making copies of a page for every child. The reality is that many teachers still rely heavily on the immediacy and simplicity of the photocopied black line master provided by someone else. It is far less confusing that all that technical mum jumbo introduced with the computer in the 90s.

Evernote. I know, you must be getting tired of me writing about Evernote. I can't help it. It is an incredibly useful, easy to use, and once you start you have no idea how you lived without it, free resource that I use for literally everything. Evernote has apps for mobile devices, desktop software, and you can access your notes through any web browser.

Amazing list of useful sites/apps/tools. Definitely give it a try!
