Heads up on another type of "smartboard".  This system has a website and there are blogs talking about how to implement this Mimio technology into the classroom.  

This is an amazing book. Wow what a resource!

This site helps nonprofits and individuals to streamline their work with the web. Up dates on new technologies are also available.

Digital natives' perspective on textbooks.

This is my site for all the web 2.0 tools I have learned about investigated and shared.

I have been impressed with this site. The assessment is a great tool. As a future TIS, I know I will use this to help assess where the school district staff needs are.

National professional development standards guidelines.

Bringing Scientists, techies, volunteers and teachers together to improve hands on learning.

Savevid.com works well with YouTube and several other sites that I have downloaded video from. I found that the video can be downloaded as an mp4, mp3, a flv, HD or computer, IPod, burn DVD's and more. Downloading, burning or embedding video into PowerPoints or SmartBoard lessons has become something I do on a regular basis and more reliable than hyperlinks.

This is a must have website. I have this as an RSS feed to my iGoogle account because there are many current events, hottopics and a forum that I can access. There are also reviews on new technology and how they fit into state standards as well as the NETS.

This site has premade, lessons that have curriculum standards attached. The lessons can easily be downloaded and used. The search engine allows you to look under topic, subject, age/grade level or standard.

The tutorials on this page are very good and are worth the time. Some of the live tutorials were frustrating because you needed a phone and a computer, but you have a live instructor and that is worth a great deal. The techniques, the fun, the time involved were very different yet the same as making a PowerPoint only with a twist.

This is a website that uploads Powerpoints. It uploads the powerpoint and then will change it to mov and upload to YouTube. You may download video from YouTube and place it in your PowerPoints from this site. The instructions are easy to follow. However, you will need to refresh your page after about 10 minutes after uploading. The site sends you an email when the ppt is uploaded. This site takes a while to perform the task, but the quality is very good. I have been happy with the site. You can also Tweet from this site. Greating cards and setting up your own channel are also options.

A podcasting resource website by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This is a site for novice and expert. There are tutorials, FAQ, lessons, websites for uploading or downloading podcasts. I have taken a podcasting class but didn't know about this reference. The websites listed at this URL that I checked still work. If I had someone who wanted to learn how to podcast, I believe this would be one of the sites I would suggest.
