Great Websites for Kids (GWS) , the Association for Library Service to Children's (ALSC) online website directory, has been completely redesigned. The updated site boasts a fresh and colorful kid-friendly look and interactive social media enhancements. Clear, bright icons display subject categories and appear on every page, while eye-catching thumbnail images provide a visual preview of each great site represented. Special sections highlight Sites of the Week and Month, Most Popular pages and Top Rated selections. Prompts for each site offer "more selections like this." Visitors can actively connect with the site and further their online experience by rating sites; sharing their favorites on social media sites such as Facebook; and emailing recommendations to friends.

Great descriptions of apps for iPad by Richard Byrne.

Great teacher blog.  Great way to develop a culture of readers.  Like idea of students posting what they've read/are reading.  Whatever Wednesday.  Friday book trailers.

Great intro to blogging

Another great Larry Ferlazzo post, this one spotlighting great websites for reading. This one with intermediate readers also links to sites for beginning and beginning older readers.

Great poetry post, including many good links mentioned on #titletalk.  This is a great blog as well.

Great post summarizing many of the things we should strive for our students to learn, and some great resources for that.

Great place to start to find some great educational blogs

Great science and math resources and activities from several great websites, all in one place.

Makes many great points about google and chromebooks

Great post about how you can use edcanvas. Includes suggestions of some great examples.

This is a great MentorMob site that currently includes a dozen sites for students to use for research.

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

Great site from a teacher I've "known" for years online.  This is her page for a presentation on using googlesites.  Teachers (and students) will be able to create their own websites.

Great resource to find official websites for authors and illustrators. In Indiana, we also have free access to teachingbooks.net for this as well.

Great tool that will create a graphic organizer for an essay; students simply type in different parts.

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.

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