This is a another Diigo Group I was recently asked to join. You don't have to join to check out the hundreds of links on using all sorts of technology to benefit your students' learning. This is a tough (and necessary) topic to keep up with for classroom teachers. Sites like this can save you time.
Great source of highly motivating books for kids. I found out about them when I lived about 10 miles from their company. They run deals periodically, so check them out. Not as cheap as Scholastic, but they are hardbound and last.
This site has read aloud stories, songs, and other activities. There is a subscription fee for this website, but there are many resources for nonsubscription users.
This is a site that reviews technology endlessly and puts out fabulous reviews, links, and comparisons of software and technologies teachers should know about. Not an education site, but just entering "education" in the search led to articles like: "8 Ways Tech is Improving Education," "100+ Online Resources that are Transforming Education," and more.
Fabulous blog set up by Barb Wollak for students receiving speech-language services at Highland Park Junior High in St. Paul, MN. Wide variety of free technologies and writing opportunities. Great model for other teachers.
Great resource for tracking down digital reading materials for your students. Divided into kids' and teens' resources. It will take you a long time to fully explore all the resources linked here.
Scroll down the page and there are two great videos here. The first is an animation of the book. The second is an interview with Lane Smith, who wrote and illustrated "It's a Book."
