This is a website by the University of Oregon that gives some good ideas about how to use some technologies in the classroom - such as Powerpoint and Blackboard, and also provides some other ideas on how to use technology in instruction.

Exactly what it sounds like. Plus it was named "Best resource sharing blog" in 2008 by Edublog, so apparently it's pretty cool.

I found this blog under the list of Edublog award winners and thought it was really interesting. It has posts everyday for new ideas for using technology in the classroom. For example, for today there is a post about Gapminder, a type of graphing technology that can be used for lesson plans, quizes, and animations. I also really like this blog because it gives links to each application and then has a whole section on how it can be realistically applied in the classroom.

Unfortunately we won't always have access to BYU's amazing resources. This blog gives ideas for ways to use technology in the classroom free of charge! Woohoo!

This site lists numerous handy technologies and their descriptions in an easy to view table format.

This blogger lists the 15 Internet tools he thinks all students should use. I think this is mostly for college students, but might have some application to high school. I like that he cites some of the technologies we'll learn about this semester, like Diigo. In fact, notice the highlighting and sticky notes on the page--that's from using Diigo.
