I just think that this site will enable us teachers who are quite iliterate in terms of web tools to be able to get closer to our students who are phd in using them, and then feel confident enough to use these resources to teach.

Larry Ferlazzo's site is just great to follow. In some weeks, you'll learn how to follow its updates without even getting to his site! I'm sure you could spend a lifetime exploring all the resources he makes available for teachers.
Have you ever wanted to create short "how to" video for your students to use for homework, remembering facts, and solving math problems.
How often have your students stated, "I could not complete the homework assignment, because I could not remember the steps and no one could help me."
Well the answer is to create a screencast or video for posting on your class wiki or blog for students to view at home or anywhere else they have web access.
"As a mobile learning device, the iPod Touch encourages learning anytime, anywhere! These mobile devices do not tie students to their desks or the classroom; they bring the world into the classroom through the lens of personalized learning.

The use of web based technology is growing by leaps and bounds every day. These online tools are the new set of keys for opening your students' minds. The vast resources on the Internet are making the use traditional methods of teaching and learning obsolete in countless ways.
