I love this website. It shares a list of educator's personal blogs that you can search by content area/grade. I love browsing the blogs of teachers like myself, I learn so many new things!

I have to tell you that it was a tough call to make these decisions, especially when we're talking every teacher no matter what grade level or subject, but I hope that you find a couple of gems to put away in your virtual treasure box.

It was exciting to find this site. I use so many visuals like venns and concept maps, comparison charts, and other great ideas.

EXCELLENT site with videos that demonstrate to students how to use various punctuation, grammar and how to be a more effective writer.  Wonderful!  I can move these video links to my Quia page and have it ready to go for independent work or as a class.

Learn about the special benefits of this weekly school event, which features much more than music. We do this with our Lakota Flag song every Friday or any other day the kids want to sing. It opens a plethora of musical learning/comparing/contrasting.

This is a great resource for quick quiz reviews or even for the kids to do online.

Love this Deb! I'll be using it!

Thanks for sharing this site. Works great for classrooms of any age or subject.

We try to attack these issues from a political standpoint, and politics are designed to be divisive. We need conversations that unite. You can't jump into a conversation on race and the very next thing you jump into is affirmative action. The process of reconciliation includes righting the wrongs, but it also includes repentance and forgiveness.

Interesting psychology facts The fact which many people believe that 'psychology is a common sense' is actually a misnomer. Students embarking on the discipline of psychology know that it is a scientific field that understands human behavior based on empirical research. The field of psychology understands functioning of human mind based on facts and realities of experiments and research.

Making Collaboration Work in Your Building Many studies tout the benefits bestowed upon schools that encourage and facilitate teacher collaboration. However, it's not always the easiest practice to put into place. It can require both time and energy that many educators feel they just don't have to spare.

House Republicans have just passed a bill through the House Ways and Means committee that, should it be approved by the full House, will make the nation's teachers eligible for a tax credit of up to $250 for purchasing their own supplies.
