Teachers, register for a free account and choose from a variety of specially-designed materials including games, lesson plans, and more to bring this year's election into your classroom!

I am pretty sure this is the single best teaching website ever! It is basically youtube, but school oriented. A lot of people share videos, and even lesson plans and other documents on this website. Great resource, and it will only get better with time!

I have no idea if this actually works, but I love the idea!

I haven't ever bought this program, but think it is a very interesting concept. When you look at "The Science" link at the top left of the home page, it brings up a section that talks about what a growth mindset school looks like. It matches a lot of our motivations. I always thought this would be interesting to try.

I like this webpage really for myself almost more than anyone else. It provides all sorts of interesting facts on the different states, and also helped my wife and I find a Dental School for her to apply to near our house. State information resource links to state homepage, symbols, flags, maps, constitutions, representitives, songs, birds, flowers, trees

Can you tell us a bit about it?

An amusement park of math and more... Lessons and games designed for fun! Bored with math? Confused by math? Hate math? Yeah, Coolmath can fix that. Totally dig math? Want to learn more math? Want to get ahead in math? Want to play some cool math games?

My students love this website.

Welcome to Reading Matters, a website dedicated to helping parents, students, and teachers in their literacy education endeavors. My name is Dr.Sharon Elder and I am the reading coach at Lakewood Elementary School in Phenix City, Alabama. I am blessed to work with the finest staff, parents, and students possible.

I like this one too. It looks like it would help with RTI.

These lessons are aligned with the common core standards.

This is a great website for reading passages and lessons.

My mistake. the website is readworks.org. I will repost. sorry.

The Florida Center for Reading Research provides teachers with many activities to help imporve reading skills.

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>>

The NASA Kids Club website contains excellent video and other resources to connect to Science lessons. http:__www.nasa.gov_audience_forkids_kidsclub_flash_index.html Also, this link for Educators is great. http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html You can find links to teaching resources, NASA TV, and others information. I also joined the NASA Educators Online Network and I get emails from them about webcasts, and chat sessions as well as other events. I had a class come in the library last year and chat with an astronaut about what we were learning.

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.

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.
