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

Richard Byrne has a great blog highlighting free technology for teachers.  This entry includes math games.

Robbie Grimes Presentation at eLead2015

PB Works webpage for an elementary school in California.  Great set up for parents to use with children during summer.

Elementary principal's blog.  This particular entry details her challenge to read 180 children's book in a year.

North Carolina has "unpacked" the Common Core to delineate just what students need to be able to do.

This particular entry addresses twitter, but there are many great things on this blog. How cool that a husband and wife blog together (can't imagine that happening at my house!) They include various resources, including history and elementary ed.

 tool that allows for quickly and easily designing posters, signs, fliers and more, allowing for a variety of customizations with backgrounds, clipart, and text, while also allowing users to upload and use their own pictures.  My own high school kids have used it to complete one page posters referred to as visual book reports.  Their end products were printed for display purposes in the library, and used for visuals for book-talks done by both the librarians and the students. We even use them in digital frames that loop through pictures at our circulation desk, and students have responded to the "book-reports" created in Poster My Wall by checking out those titles.   The site does not require an account though that is an option, and those opting to use the free version can create professional looking posters and download for printing in minutes.  My school secretary was so impressed with the site she has even used it to create fliers for events and activities at school.   The site is easy enough for even elementary school students.  Like Wordle, my collaborating teachers are finding some very interesting uses for Poster My Wall. Cons?  It is not a replacement to Glogster by any means, but a poster app none the less. (Rec by Cathy Jo Nelson)

Lots of great sites. I had head edshelf was going out of business, but maybe they've been saved. (edshelf is used for the display)

Possibly the best search engine for younger children.
