Useful tools for secondary teachers are sites that allow for more access to resources, videos,embedding tools, and printables. I enjoy using Edhelper.com which allows for the creation of content-based puzzles and printable worksheets. Unitedstreaming.com is also a website that provides access to SOL based videos and curriculum units. Though these two websites are not free, edhelper allow teachers to create minimal activities for free and unitedstreaming is often purchased by school districts who receive a site license. Last but not least, I recommend Zamzar.com, which allows teachers to embed YouTube or other videos into PowerPoint presentations that may otherwise be blocked by district internet screening tools.

This is from the Bill Gate's backed Khan Academy and houses lots of audio and visual videos on differing topics from math to the humanities. It's worth perusing!

We love Khan Academy but are working on ways to use the videos to add depth to instruction not just replace the sage on the stage with another digital sage.

My thought was to have the students embed the videos into glogs or other presentations they create.

If you haven't seen a glog, check this out. This one is on Web 2.0 tools. The key to remember is that you must scroll over each item in the glog. If a pink circle apears, then you should click the image and something else (video, website, audio etc.) will apear. Great example for how to use this tool!

Site from the University of York concerning science education and the 21st century. This university has many YouTube videos on chemistry related topics that I sometimes try to use when I can get them downloaded.

Glogster allows you to create online posters. Everything you insert onto your poster can be hyperlinked to another site, video, music, etc. You can then publish your Glogster and provide others with the web address so they can view it.

Glogster is a private and safe student environment where students create interactive posters. The Free Basic account allows students to create and share glogs but lacks many tools in the premium level. The Teacher's premium licence for 200 students costs $99 per year.
