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.

Site about teaching with technology, it has links to great online tools, educational games, professional development, grant resources and technology integration/planning

This is an awesome site for book lovers! It allows you to browse through popular books, which I love to do, just to see what people are reading for an idea of what to read next. Then you can put books that you own on your "shelf". You can then have friends and share actual books with each other, if you live nearby. It is also a great place to read ratings on books. It then links you to Amazon and other libraries where you could check our or buy the books! You can also put your "bookshelf" on a blog to show off your interests to all your friends.

PowerPoints that are already created on just about any area you can think of including library skills. This is a link to the library one, but the home page has PowerPoints for every subject area. (Parts of a Book, Dewey Decimal System, More - Free Presentations in PowerPoint format, Free Interactives for Kids)

Great site! I use this at least twice per week. Power Point presentations, web links, games and activities for nearly every topic in every subject being taught. The work has already been done for you!

Huge collection of free, already made, Power Points in a variety of different subjects and topics.

I use this site a ton. This is a free site that you can go to in order to create awards for kids. These awards can then be emailed to parents or you can email them to yourself and print them off. I love this site! There are other things on this site to use, but the awards are what I have always used. To get to the awards, click on "Site Awards." Then at the very top of this page, you have a link that will take you to "Make Awards."

This site is a direct link to Professional Development in Kansas. It is a KNEA site.

This site provides 3-5 daily links to new resources from all over the web.

In these financially tight times, everyone could use a little something that's free! Great technology ideas for free tools.

This blog has links to free technology resources for teachers!

The ramblings, rants, and thoughts of Gwyneth A. Jones. First runner-up in the 2009 Edublog Awards for Best Librarian/Library Blog, this site is full of ideas, links, and resources for today's teacher-librarian. I really like her straightforward (blunt) style of writing and her passion for today's librarians to stay abreast of emerging technologies.

This is a great site for any classroom teacher. The site is intended to link curriculum with computers to engage students. The curriculum is K-12 and all subjects. The site has ready to use content and works well with any Interactive White Board. This site does cost around $50, but has a 30 day free trial to make sure it will be useful to you.

This website has links to all kinds of technology tutorial videos.

Links to interactive math activities

Wow! My kids will love this site! It would be a great link to add to your classroom webpage for students to access from home.

Advanced Education is a online professional development site that provides information and training on the latest 21st century technology that is used in the classroom, such as the SMART Board.

This is a website that has links to online popular resources such as Jing, Ning, YouTube, voicethread and many more. They are organized in a visual that makes it very appealing.

This is a great blog with tons of resources for teachers! I love the must watch educational videos section, as well as the "cool links" area of the site. Everyone should check this out!

This is a great website for language classes. It features real people (preferably native speakers) pronouncing words in many different languages. Want to hear how a native French speaker says "Foie Gras"? Look no further! No definitions are included (even a link to one would be better than nothing...). Japanese words are in Kanji and/or Katakana/Hiragana, tough for beginning Japanese students who rely on Romaji to find words. Pronunciations are voted on by users, and you can see the speaker's location on a map (helpful for regional dialects).

This site has a wide variety of information and links including technology, magazines, and much more. Some of the resources are for you to purchase, but there are many great resources that are free.

This blog includes great tips and resources along with links to other great sites and blogs for librarians.

I was introduced to this site in another class I have taken through PSU and find it to be really powerful. TED stands for Technology Entertainment Design. This site goes beyond technologies for the classroom, and discusses real life technologies…some our students might be using in the future. This site contains a number of videos. The videos discuss a variety of topics, more than just technology. Two such videos that would be really thought provoking and/or great conversation pieces for a professional development day are found at the following links: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/taylor_mali_what_teachers_make.html http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html
