Do you wonder what your friends are saying about books? Do you wonder what they are reading? There are oodles and oodles of children's book reviews written by kids on this site. Check out what other kids are saying about the book you are reading. Maybe you will be the next reviewer on the Spaghetti Book Club!

This site provides an extensive collection of free resources, math games, and handson math activities aligned with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Our math printables are suitable for use in math centers, small group or whole class settings. Instructions for each activity are presented in large print on a task card in child-friendly language to enable students to work on tasks independently after a brief introduction to the task. All materials and activities on the site are designed to support the Common Core State Standards and are based on the belief that effective mathematical learning is best achieved when students are given frequent opportunities to develop their own problem solving strategies, to pose questions, and to engage in mathematical inquiry through the use of open-ended tasks.

Welcome to the TESiboard collection,a purpose built library of visual, dynamic,interactive resources.TESiboard resources are primarily openendedtools that enable teachers to enagagetheir pupils in a learning dialoguearound the resource.The resources are designed for use by theteacher on their interactive whiteboardbut many are also suitable for pupil use,usually responding to a task or challengeset by the teacher.The TESiboard materials were acquiredby TSL Education Limited at the end ofNovember 2009 and as a result of TSL'scurrent and planned future investment,all these popular resources are availablefor free.

Recordings of LiveClass2.0 webinars. These orginate at noon on Saturdays. Fabulous livebinders are created for each show. They are moving them over from another site, so not all are here as yet.

Not that worksheets are always the answer, but there are a lot of resources here.  Must be making money on the ads, too.

I don't agree that all of these are great, but it's a nice list.  Some of them are time-wasters.

Bernie Dodge was one of the first originators of webquests.  While webquest.org is no longer updated, there are some features of QuestGarden that you can access for free.  Subscriptions are $20 for two years.

Free photos with goal quotes.  Laura Candler's materials are great, and many of them are free.

It is the responsibility of all educators to model good digital citizenship for their students. Especially when it comes to copyright, plagiarism and intellectual property. The waters are murky. Great resource from Silvia Tolisano AKA @langwitches

Interesting tool bar-can download from CyberSmart, and you are guided to several sites they recommend.  In some ways, I like to generate my own, but they undoubtedly have many I'd overlook.

This site from Drexel University was one of the earliest comprehensive math sites.  It has many resources for teachers and students. This particular page is for teachers, but there are student pages, "What's New" pages, and more.

I first marked this page for some excellent links about CCSS for K-6 math, but there are many other great things on the page.  While NC's changes would be different from other states, the examples and explanations of CCSS can be useful for anyone.

Another great resource from Laura Candler.  Includes some free resources, including a webinar.  The things she has for sale are pretty reasonably priced.

Readings with free activities that are lexile-leveled. It is designed for grades K-6, but there are many readings with lexiles scores of 800-1020. Also, it provides lesson plans aligned with various children's books.  You can create a free account. Rec by Karen Ault

Good explanation of google sites. There are many other great posts on this teacher's blog.

Want to see what tools are considered to be the most impt new tools for 2012, and predicted to have staying power?  Nice annotated list. 

This post is from Gary Price, someone I've followed for quite a long time. He recommends newsblur as a replacement for Google Reader. There are links to other articles as well.

Several courses are available.

Community that shares a ton of CCSS resources.  There are some features for free, some have a charge.

Suggestions for a few apps; check comments, as people are adding more ideas.
