Scholastic.com can be a valuable tool in becoming a life long learner and bettering ourselves as teachers.

Hayley Carney's Website of the Day PBS Teachers has tons of tools for teachers. The "Classroom Resources" tab has everything organized by grade then into subject area. The "Professional Development" tab has many tools for learning how to incorporate ideas into your classroom. There is even a Discussion forum! I will be presenting this website Wednesday, February 6 (tomorrow) during class!

The website I presented today in class :) This is the Home page instead of the Math link.

Cerias (The Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Sercurity) is a research center that has a multidisciplinary approach to the problems, ranging from purely technical issues (e.g., intrusion detection, network security, etc) to ethical, legal, educational, communicational, linguistic, and economic issues, and the subtle interactions and dependencies among them.

Free tech for teachers is a blog that shows lots of free resources teachers can use to gather and organize research. It has links to helpful websites and tutorials on how to navigate certain websites, creating blogs, finding useful information and more.

This website has hundreds of links to all sorts of information for students and teachers.

Wordle is a toy for generating "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Communicate Better To Home. HomeworkNOW.com makes it possible for schools to communicate with parents and students via the web, iPhone, iPad, Android apps, email, mobile text messaging, Facebook, Twitter, RSS Feeds and more! Administrators use HomeworkNOW.com to easily communicate school announcements, alerts, and schoolwide notices. Although homework now.com is not necessarily free to use, it is something that is available to either the whole school or just you as a teacher and your classroom, and it is not very expensive. It is a site that I believe could be very helpful and useful to parents, teachers and students even though you must invest a little bit of money into it and as a teacher some time into it. It is an easy way to communicate with parents and students at home which something I like very much and it keeps the parents informed on any assignments/tests that may be coming up!

This website has many tools to help teachers learn to use many different technologies having to do with communication beween teacher, parent, and student.

This website is an excellent source of information. The site can teach anybody to use Excel spreadsheet. The site has several free downloads and you don't have to join to be able to use. What more, it teaches any formula that you might need in your teaching future.

This is a blog that describes a 101 ways to bring technology into the classroom. It has a lot of good ideas, sites and links that will help students be more active in the classroom while using technology.
