Excellent source for spicing up the bland research project! Teachers can grade and comment on project before it is uploaded to the web. Students can create a project such as research on a topic, locate images that are uploaded to each 'side' of the cube, create a Word document with their research info and upload it too! Even interactive hyperlinks can be imbedded into the cube.

wow, really cool! I shared this site with my 21 year old daughter (history major) and she has been enjoying it

This site was created by a technology integration specialist. She shares her thoughts, ideas, and projects. Almost daily she adds new sites to her blog. She has a lot of information about digital storytelling. If you are looking for technology project ideas this is a good place to browse.

This article lists many sites that could be of use for digital storytelling projects and slideshows. Some of them I had never heard of yet and am anxious to try them out!

Kansas Coaching Project from KU Center for Research on Learning. KU-CRL offers Instructional Coaching Institutes to explore issues and ideas related to this form of professional development.

This site has tons of information for those wanting to use blogs in the classroom. The blogs are geared specially for anyone in the field of education. You can find tips on how to manage your blogs and how to get students involved.

This is a cool platform for those who would like to experiment with classroom blogs. I liked it for my students because unlike other platforms like Blogger and Word Press, the students do not have to have an email account to sign in.

You may have seen this before, but I thought it would be worth it to look at the site again from the PD perspective.

The Education Podcast Network is an effort to bring together into one place, the wide range of podcast programming that may be helpful to teachers looking for content to teach with and about, and to explore issues of teaching and learning in the 21st century.

This wiki was created to help educators find others in their field or area of interest on Twitter. You can choose a subject area or your grade level.

Stephanie, can you contact me through my personal email: pittss11@yahoo.com I am having HUGE difficulties getting email to work through ANGEL and would really like to discuss our project due in April. Thanks, David Pitts

Great site with free educational resources and lesson plans. It has sections for teachers, students, parents, and an "after school" section with activities, interactives, and projects. It even has free Webinars in Professional Development for teachers!!!

This site allows you to search for copyright friendly images. This site helps you to understand what type of copyright license the image exists under and how you can use it. The site allows you to explore through different tabs (Google Web, Flickr, Yahoo, etc.). My favorite is Flickr because of the images and the easy-to-understand copyright symbols and explanations.

This site provides resources, hands-on activities, and answers questions about technology integration. Check out the Cool Classroom Pages to get some great ideas for class projects.

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.

This article takes a slightly different spin on the "How to work with teachers to help them integrate technology" aspect: It looks at it from the perspective of the teacher and putting some of the responsibility on them to take advantage of the Tech Coordinator as a resource.
