PSU Professional Development

under "Educational Resources" is listed Classroom management, bullying, assessment and rubric websites and much more

This site is great for any curriculum area. Add as many words as you would like to the list. The more times you add the word, the larger it will appear. The end result is a unique "word cloud". Great for discussion starters, vocabulary terms, etc.

I tried to visit this site, but it is currently down. Lawyers :(

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.

Lists of sites under the headings "free digital curriculum", "lesson plans" etc. If Professional Development is typed into the search bar, site listings come up there as well.

This is a great site that you can use as an instructional tool or for learning activities for your students.

This is a great compilation of SMART board lessons. Why reinvent the wheel? Teachers have alread created some great lessons to use.

This is awesome! Thank you! I am a new SmartBoard user and these pre-made lessons will be awesome for a beginner like me!

This site has excellent online activities, instructional aids, and games for younger elementary kids. I personally love the 2-digit with regrouping activities.

This is a really good site for keyboard practice. Students can set their own pace from novice to advance. It's even good practice for the teacher!

This site allows you to read, create, and share books online. You can read books online for free. You can also have students create their own books and publish them online with over 7,000 images. There is a fee of $12.95 a month for one teacher. You could plan your lessons around creating books and pay the fee for the months you used the program.

This site allows students or teachers to create comic strips to enhance a variety of different lessons.

The central education website of the Smithsonian Institution. Educational information, activities and resources for educators, families, and students. Educational materials emphasize inquiry based learning with primary sources and museum collections.

This website has K-2 science lesson plans that integrate technology too!

PBS Teachers provides PreK-12 educational resources and activities for educators tied to PBS programming and correlated to local and national standards and professional development opportunities delivered online.

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

This website is from the National Science Teachers Association professional development. They even have web seminars that you can watch and interact with others. This would be good for my district and those that focus on the content area of science in my district.

This would be good for my school and district. It would be a good place to collaborate and interact with each other.

This site has podcasts for professional development from the American Speech Language Hearing Association. This would be great for speech paths, along with regular ed. teachers who want to learn more in this area.

The purpose of this site is to provide professional development for educators by sharing resources, lesson plans and files for classroom use. There are even podcasts that you can listen to. This would be great for me personally to get to see others lesson plans and files.
