Haven't used these, but thought the list looked like it was worth sharing.

Good advice for encouraging engagement.

Good tips for organizing in Google Drive, also mentions an interesting sounding feature (I haven't tried)--Doctopus.

A collection of articles, journals, videos and other resources on the Common Core

Besides being interesting information, I thought it might be useful to look at this when we do research--to have students decide what kind of evidence they're looking at, practice introducing the information--and citing it since the authors would be cited by their usernames.

Wow--there's a TON of great video clips here. If you don't see anything else, watch Mr. D_Assessment. Fantastic laugh--could be great conversation starter about assessment.

EasyBib is a great site for more than just creating citations for essays. Click on Student Resources for help with the research process, evaluating sources, planning and writing essays. Info screens are short and easy to understand, but packed with important info. For those assigning presentations, go to Student Resources>Research Guide>Improving visuals of presentations.

Great resource for using MLA citation. Pages not only tell what info to use in the citation, but have screen shots of web pages for really clear, usable examples.

Excellent strategies for increasing comprehension--especially in content area reading.

Can't remember if I've seen this shared here or not--looks really cool. Even has a section for first person oral histories.

Great site with lots of original videos, audio, primary sources--check it out!

Looked really interesting--thought social studies or English might be interested.

Very useful--provides an array of project/genre choices from visual note taking to simulation game and e-book. Includes short description, general directions, and LOTS of choices for tools to create.

"Information is Beautiful released their visualization awards shortlist a couple days ago and if you like visual stuff you will want to check it out." Interesting from both a reading-for-information and creating/composition standpoint.

Good site to use as example of investigating claims and statements we run across n the media and in research students are doing for papers, etc.
