This is Tony Vincent's site. He is a well known speaker at technology conferences like GAETC and the ISTE Conference (formerly known as NECC). Tony is incredible with podcasting, vodcasting, and using iPads to teach. If you want to know about integrating any idevice there is help for it on his site. His blog is linked on here as well. His Learning in Hand podcasts are extremely helpful. He even has suggestions for using Twitter in your class.

This site is great and really growing. Since I helped Tina Cross write the grant to implement this, I am a little biased. Teachers in Muscogee County, at CSU, and employees at the Coca Cola Space Science Center as well as some others have created some incredible vodcasts that can be used in the classroom. They are already connected to the standards and are checked for accuracy of content. Teachers receive training with Tony Vincent on podcasts and student learning. He is a well known speaker at technology conferences like GAETC and ISTE.

About Parents rarely have access to research-based interventions. These briefs reflect CECP's commitment to provide families with useful and usable information about evidenced-based practices. They were inspired by the charge from one family leader, Dr. Jane Adams, executive director of Kansas's Keyes for Networking. more>>

My music students really enjoy this website and I am fond of the way that it combines music instruction with math and science.

This website has some many innovative ideas to take learning to the next level in your classroom. There are videos about schools that have really excelled in new programs, as well as educational resources and blogs.

Thousands of Free Lesson Plans in Math Social Studies Art Language Arts Music Physical Education Reading Writing Geography Science Projects Science Lesson Plans and Thematic units. K-12 educational resources and activities for teachers, parents and students

Science360 Knowledge Network immerses visitors in the latest wonders of science, engineering, technology and math. We gather the latest science videos provided by scientists, colleges and universities, science and engineering centers, the National Science Foundation and more.

This website has great information from the NY times. It is a way that people can blog about the issue presented for that day and people can voice their opinion as well as view others opinions on the issue. The blog I looked at pertained to Education but there are other blogs, such as politics, etc.

The leading source for trustworthy and timely health and medical news and information. Providing credible health information, supportive community, and educational services by blending award-winning expertise in content, community services, expert commentary, and medical review. Being a Health teacher, I find this site informative and a good place to get started on a health topic of interest.

Kathy Schrock's Website-this site is part of Discovery Website. The website provides many interesting sites where the teachers can find information for lessons and find information for enhancing their classroom. Kathy even gives her picks of the week.

Can you tell us a bit about it?

Dance with Dash, write stories with Dot and watch Adventures with Hooper. Earn tickets for prizes and do fun literacy activities on PBS KIDS Island. Find videos and games for older kids on PBS KIDS GO. My kids love this site and it has some very educational and fun activities.

A good resource for any class at any level. Complete with puzzles and articles on hundreds of subjects.

Good for lesson plans. Also, an interactive way for students to learn.

Differentiating our classrooms and providing choice is always a challenge. This website offers basic templates to get started with in creating menu and choice boards (tic-tac-toe boards). It is from another district but has some useful links. I like to see what resources other discticts are using.

For those of you not in Muscogee County, their website http://secondaryinstruction.com/ is one of my favs and offers many useful resources.

I think that a good, relavent brain teaser can be a good closing to a lesson or segway into a lesson. I like this website because I think it can be useful for several subjects.

http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/riddles/index.htm This is another fun brain teaser website that the kids liked because it is real friendly on the smartboard.
