This presentation provides information and techniques for teachers to use when teaching new vocabulary by using contextual clues. Workshop presentation by Lynn Figurate Shared via Learning Connection

Franki Sibberson is a great person to follow for literacy ideas.  Her blog "A Year of Reading" has lots to consider! Not all presentations are easy to follow, but this one is very enlightening.

Nice presentation tool.

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.

This post from Bill Ferriter includes many handouts he's used for presentations.

You can view the slideshare of this presentation.  I like the way she included screen shots of some of the preparation and also what the results and data will look like.

Presentation that includes designing 90-minute block, scaffolding, differentiation, planning, and more.

Short animations and games to present math in a different way.  Rec. by Rose Hulman PRISM

if you need to bookmark a site and want to have a copy of your bookmarked sites accessible from any computer- it's free and very easy to use.  LiveBinders is like having a 3-ring binder for the Web- collect your resources, organize them easily, present them to your students/colleagues.  Your students can access them from the laptops simply by going to the site and searching for your public binder by name, or by logging in with your information.  You can make your binders private or public.  There are hundreds already made that you may be able to use in your classroom (someone else has already done the work for you) - if it is public you can make a copy of it and save the binder in your account!

These questions deal with everyday phenomena that we often take for granted, but each can be explained scientifically. Everyday Mysteries will help you get the answers to these and many other of life's most interesting questions through scientific inquiry. In addition, we will introduce you to the Library of Congress' rich collections in science and technology. All of the questions presented on this Web site were asked by researchers and answered by librarians from the Library's Science Reference Services.

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.

This site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box. What items, for example, would you put in a box to describe your life; the life of a Victorian Servant or Roman soldier; or to show that slavery was wrong and unnecessary? You can display anything from a text file to a movie. You can also view and comment on the museum boxes submitted by others
