    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.

Forvo: the pronunciation guide. - 0 views

    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 is by far one of the best talks I've ever heard regarding why our schools are failing. You've probably already seen this, but if not, you need to spend the 12 minutes to watch this.

    Allows you to save a webpage for later reading, even offline. It strips away all of the extemporaneous information (ads, menus, comments, etc.) and just gives you the article you want to read. I use this for just about every website that we are sent to in this MS program!
