    4Teachers.org: Helping Teachers Integrate Technology into the Classroom. This site includes many tools that can be used in the classroom. There are also several links that include helpful information. I would recommend this site to teachers interested in learning more about integrating technology.
  •  
    This is a website dedicated to help teachers integrate technology into the classroom by offering online tools and resources. This site helps teachers locate and create ready-to-use Web lessons, quizzes, rubrics and classroom calendars. I think any teacher who wants to teach with the current tools should look at some of the ideas given at this website.

Bright ideas - 2 views

    Bright ideas is a blog where school library staff share ideas on how they can use Web 2.0 tools in their library and in their school. Tons of links and resources for book reviews, collaborative tools, Creative Commons websites, cybersafety, e-books and magazines, e-portfolios, feature use of Web 2.0 tools, and much more. This site was the first runner up in the 2009 Edublog Awards for Best Library Blog.

Wallwisher.com: Words that stick - 0 views

  •  
    This site would be a great tool to use in the classroom (or in a library). A "wallwisher" wall allows everyone to communicate on a "wall" answering a question you have posed. Using sticky notes, those in the class answer on the virtual/visual wall. The wall I built asked the question, "what are you reading and what do you like about it so far?" Students can answer with both words and images. Therefore, it is my hope students will upload a picture of the book cover and give a quick review of the book based on what they have read so far. You can design the color/design of the wall. I found this tool to be lots of fun and it could be used in many ways in a classroom or library. Wallwisher could definitely be used to inspire collaboration and communication.
  •  
    This is an online notice board maker where you can post announcements, greetings, jokes; just about anything you would want to put on a Post It. I think this would be a great tool for students to use in a note taking assignment. This would be fun to collaborate multiple students' posts and try to combine them randomly to create a funny poem or short story.

Promethean World - 0 views

    I posted this website because I think it is so amazing to see what types of new tools and resources are available that schools are able to purchase to enrich learning and teaching. I know that most of the tools and technology on this page are not ones that teachers would purchase on their own, but I know our school offers building and district wide grants. Knowing that tools like this exist would be helpful if you ever wanted to rally in bringing new technology to your building!!

The Education Technology Blog - 0 views

  •  
    What I liked most about this blog is that it is specifically designed for how you can integrate technology into your own classroom. It would be a great tool for teachers to utilize to help them turn their classroom into a 21st century learning environment. This site can also help give the support teachers need when they are trying to integrate different tools and technologies that districts sometimes lack after having taken a professional development course. I found it very encouraging.

    A VoiceThread is a tool for having conversation around media. A powerful new way to talk about and share your images, documents, and videos. Viewers can leave comments via voice, text, audio file, or video. Imagine, an entire group discussion on ONE page; digital storytelling made simple! It is free and has an education side to it with a secure network for K-12 students and teachers to collaborate and share ideas with ANYWHERE in the world!

A Digital Native ‎(Technology 4 Educators)‎ - 0 views

  • As an educator, do you ever find yourself feeling like the dad in Zits? Perhaps a "digital immigrant" in a technology obsessed nation? If so, then this website is for you! Choose one of the links below to get started learning the language of the digital natives (or perhaps I should say, "digital intuitives"-a term coined by Ben and Jared from EdTech Innovators-students have the intuitiveness to use technology but do they know how to use it appropriately to learn, to solve problems, to access information, and to create?).

      I love that this is exactly what we are learning about in this program. It is how technology is growing so fast and we are trying to keep up with the students of today by understanding all this "techie jargon". I think this site will be so helpful to the person who wants to learn more about the way technology is used by students today.
  •  
    This site helps explain the basics of web 2.0 tools to a technology immigrant. It is a great site that would allow educators who are scared to learn about technology, because it is a very simple site that would teach them about what students are using today.

    This is just the first step in making education and technology more engaging for educators and students! Glogster is also a perfect web 2.0 tool for your learning and your WIKIs. Glogster provides master-accounts for teachers integrating all student accounts, which are kept private! Mix graphics, photos, videos, music and text into slick Glogs.

    This has a little bit of everything. It has email, online word processor, online presentation tools, online note takers, and much more. These are all offered online so you can access them anywhere. This is a bit more oriented toward business use but would be good experience for the students to use something like this as they may very well have to do it beyond school.

    AWESOME site! And FREE!!! Great resource for teaching teachers to use Virtual Field Trips. I especially like the one about teaching student to mummify things (morbid, I know, but this is very easy-to-use steps for teaching students science processess!)....this site has exceptional 'trips' (otherwise known as 'lessons', but don't tell the students that!) on a wide variety of topics!
