this is a way to look for new blogs.

For those going into Social Studies, this site has many resources and links to lesson plans and helpful history websites.

Decent video tutorial on how to create a virtual tour with Google Earth. Cool idea for social studies students, or perhaps when studying famous literary authors and landmarks.

I love playing around on the history channel website for videos, which can be episodes or short clips. When I'm trying to implement visual representations into my lessons, this is an easily accessible source. Simple, but effective.

I think this is a great blog--it's designed by US History teachers to help share content and technology.

This is a great source for dance teachers to order dvd's, vhs, and other "technological appliances" for a cheap price. It also lists the standards for dance teaching and you can post how you personally implement them.

This is a great place to find top-notch lectures on various topics. I found this when looking up string theory. They have lecture series as well, and frankly, they're really, really cool. This could be great for all teachers, I think!

I found this while I was looking for blogs to follow, but I think it is so cool! Great ideas from all over.

I really love this blog site because it is all about teaching those special students in your classrooms whose needs are quickly met, but who get bored easily with the mundaneness of school. This is a big issue I've struggled with myself--trying to keep my gifted students fully active and participating in everything we do--and I have already found several helpful hints on this site. It includes some neat ideas for technology inclusion, as well. The more educated we are about the diversity of our students and their specific needs, the better we can meet those needs and educate our students with a whole range of abilities.

My friend in Memphis is in charge of a privately-funded, faith-based organization providing professional development to teachers on technology integration topics. LOTS of great videos on great technologies here! Check them out!

an lds social networking site, like facebook!

Wow, get 2 Flip cameras for the price of 1 if you're a teacher! Yay! This will enable you to do more video projects. :-)

Are online degrees/teaching less important than face to face? This article explores some myths with online teaching.

Good information on how to use clickers in education.

Have you heard of clickers? Use your cell phones to poll students in your class about assignments, pop quizzes, etc.

I don't think we should have students just playing games all the time, but they can be a good arrow in the quiver of teaching methodologies. This is an interesting article into the use of games to teach core subjects, like science.

Easy way to create podcasts from your cell phone.

Great example of what I think is a student video project on the Giver. An example of how video projects can be used to show student understanding of a book's themes.
