Kind of nifty -- a chart of situations where teachers might assign "traditional" work such as a worksheet, with a more student-centered option for each. The suggestions seem to address the core need and look reasonably easy to implement.

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.

I wish I'd known about this collection of OERs during the last school year! They feature clear navigation, plenty of graphics, and sub-collegiate reading levels. Some lessons include interactives and quizzes as well. GCFLearnFree offers many topics, but this will link you to its page of technology-related items. Some, like "Typing Tutorial" or "Using Information Correctly" would be perfect for students to work through independently. Others, like "Google Drive and Docs" would be appropriate for students or staff development.

This is a tidy little package explaining what Diigo is and how it can be used to further student learning. It includes ideas for using Diigo with students, instructions on getting started, and even some Diigo groups teachers might consider joining. It looks to be a nice length to be the basis for a 20-30 minutes staff development session -- long enough to have some meat, but short enough not to overwhelm busy teachers.

This page invites school media specialists to try 23 explorations and activities online. It looks like a good way for those feeling a little behind the times to get familiar with a nice variety of online tools.
