Good resource for webcollections--this one has apps for iPad

This is a tile-based bookmarking site. Tiles are clustered and one clicks a tile which may hold many bookmarked sites by category. Apparently many schools in California use this site.

This is a tile site (Symboloo) with hyperlinks to the CCSS. Symboloo is an interesting site to use because of its tile template.

One of the best sites for creating word sorts, vocab cards, quizzes of all types and more! You can link these on your site, too!

I just used this site/download with an iPod project in my classroom. It is probably the most important site I have found in years. The primes is simple and there are probably pleanty of other sites like it but.... WOW. You can drop your files into the dropbox and they are saved to the "cloud". Then amazingly they are on every computer ( or iPod) you have linked to the account. I entered my account info on the student iPods and made a folder for each student, when they were done with a project, they saved it to the folder. The great thing about this was i could access their assigment from anywhere, my home computer, my iPhone, another iPod in the class, the smart board...it was limitless, I could share it with anyone, no matter where I was...how powerful. I also made a folder of "mrs. Kondrick's resources" where I put videos, audios, assignments, rubrics etc, and then they could watch them/use them at their own pace ( so ethnic that works well with our individualized daily 5 reading block.

These are sites that have proven to exemplary over the years.

Nanoogo--This FREE site encourages children to be creative and share ideas. It's a cross between a blog and a digital canvas and formatting is really simple. Users just drag and drop the images and text however they wish. There is also a teacher sign up option, which lets you quickly add a whole class or school. Worth a look.
