This site has a plethora of resources. I would not send this out to staff. Instead I would use this as a resource for me to dig through some great OER sites and then share the best ones for middle school teachers and students. Because the look of this list is not very appealing, I think it would turn many people away. We have many students and teachers looking for audiobooks. This is a great resource. Once again there are tons of math options. I find many math teachers thinking that math is different and that it's harder to incorporate technology into their curriculum. Usually when I show a math teacher just a few options, their eyes open. The list of resources here is awesome. Open.edu is a great resource to help teachers expand their knowledge. I could probably bookmark that resource separately.

That is the trick with sites that have sooo many resources; teachers tend to get overwhelmed and then don't look at any of them! I also try to sort through resources and send them specific sites or links that are focused on what area(s) they have been asking about. I will also be sorting through this site to find some great resources to share!

Practicaledtech is a great source for teachers to stay up to date on great online resources. Richard Byrne is an awesome tech integrator and his site used to be called free tech for teachers. I would assign teachers to use this guide to pick one blogging tool to try out with their classes. Before they got to work with their classes I would pair of teachers who chose the same blogging tool and have them work together on the platform.

"A selection of resources to help teachers learn more about and get started with Google Expeditions." This resource will help teachers learn how Google Expeditions works and see which Expeditions are available. This is a resource that many teachers may know very little about. If devices for VR are a difficulty to obtain, there are also free resources for them. Cellcom in our area allows classroom kits to be shipped out to a teacher for a short amount of time.

I tagged this site because I think it helps teachers to save time. When the CCSS first rolled out, my district spent a lot of time reinventing the wheel. Much the the AASL Crosswalk, I think teachers would find this tool useful. I would first introduce this source to them in a quick over-view. I would then sit in small groups or one on one and help teachers realign their standards to the new the CC.

This could be used by science teachers in the building for our honors and ap biology classes. There are labs that our teachers could build off of and teachers could show the students what a college syllabus looks like. I feel like this could be a great conversation about high school expectations and what's next to come.

There are numerous resources for teachers out there on the web, making finding, sharing, and accessing great tools for development easier than ever.

"Be Internet Awesome is a collaboration between Google and the Internet Keep Safe Coalition (iKeepSafe.org). It is "a multifaceted program designed to teach kids the skills they need to be safe and smart online." The resource includes a game called, Interland, that can be a stand alone tool as well as a full curriculum that enables teachers to teach digital citizenship fundamentals. The lesson plans are geared toward grades 3 to 5." It think this is a great free tool from Google that I had not heard about that allows teachers to gameify Internet Safety and Digital Citizenship. I played the game a bit and I wonder if maybe teachers should take it, as we had a phishing spam a few years ago where teachers gave personal information online to an email that looked like it came from our local credit union.

Great resource to share with teachers before summer starts. There are many free courses to take on a variety of subjects. It seems like all teachers at our school could benefit from something on here.

TED videos would be a great video source to share with the 2nd grade teachers who teach insects. It has current videos, with fascinating facts and real pictures. The days of the Magic School Bus on VHS need to be transformed to show teachers new sources of videos to show to students, so students can be aware of the current issues with the insect world and learn new facts about insects that they may have never known!

This has a plethora of curriculum and skill sets for the classroom teacher and specialists including art, assessment, classroom management, science, service learning, and so on. It is a great 'go to resource' that an educator (especially initial educators) can access creative ideas and build upon them. It is also something that can be shared with district personnel to either add to or build a similar resource 'page' or 'document' within one's district.

This course could be used to help teachers who are interested in learning more about e-learning opportunities as flipped learning, moocs, etc. are gaining popularity in schools. I know a lot of teachers in my school district who would be interested in this kind of learning.

Google classroom can be a powerful tool for student-centered online learning. Teachers would be asked to use this source to introduce themselves to not only how to use it but how students can benefit from it. I love this source because it seems to be mostly created by high school students. The school that created it is showing how they are going to have students troubleshooting and supporting teachers throughout next years integration of classroom.

This HyperDocs community has awesome resources for us as teacher-librarians and a wide range of subjects for classroom teachers as well.

I think this is a great resource to offer my teachers so they can offer it to their students. This is a fun and easy way for pre-k and kindergarten students to learn about matching sounds to letters. Teachers will be able to use this activity at one of their learning centers. The interface is very user friendly. The graphics are colorful and engaging to young students.

I would use this site to work with the math and science teachers. For this bookmark, I am focusing on math because I find this group to be the hardest to get to work with the library. I would meet with the teachers, discuss concepts they are teaching and then show them this array of simulations they can assign students for any of the following reasons: *Formative Assessment *Further practice on a concept a student is struggling with mastering *A learning extension for accelerated learners - this could be a part of a personalized learning path.

I would share this with my pre-k and kindergarten teachers.This is a fun interactive website that focuses on patterns. Teachers would use this after they've introduced patterns to their students. This is an excellent learning center activity.

This website is all shared hyperdocs for teachers. It is also a place where teachers can share hyperdocs that they have created.

Graphite reviews apps, games, and websites that for their educational usefulness. A consistent review template makes the reviews easy to browse and compare. Each tech tool is reviewed by Graphite, and most also show scores from teacher reviews as well. The reviews are focused and have sufficient detail to be helpful. Potential issues for educational use (such as age limits) are noted. Use the filters on the "Reviews and Ratings" tab to find apps right for your school, or use the "Top Picks" area to compare tools for similar purposes (making videos, or formative assessments, for example). There is a Common Core Explorer that will suggest tools that fit each standard, and there is also a Teacher Center that includes lesson plans made to take advantage of the tools.
