Online marketplace for teachers to buy, sell and share their ideas and resources

HT to Adam Reinhard, one of my students in an online class I'm teaching for MLC, for finding this one! I'm definitely going to make use of this...

I'm intrigued by the use of something like this for continuing education for teachers.  Anybody use or have experienced something similar?

Not sure if I've shared this in the past, but it may be a nice solution for classrooms, school, and/or church libraries. $3/mo. for 1,000 or fewer titles, which most church libraries would fall under.

Phraseology (iPad only) and Terminology (iPhone, iPad) are two low cost, high quality integrated writing tools useful for any writing task on the go from tweets to instructions, multipage reports, sermons, etc. Terminology (iPhone & iPad), in addition to its built in dictionary and thesaurus, allows you to chose which online word tools to check and integrate into your lookups/research. Phraseology (iPad only) is a friendly editing environment which is especially useful breaking down your word/phrase usage and frequency. Pay attention to the Flesch Kincaid Reading and Grade level scores along with other readability statistics, including root word frequency, and you can improve the comprehension of your written or oral presentation. Most pastors and teachers who either compose or copy-paste-revise content taking into account Phraseology's feedback should be able to greatly improve their audience's comprehension. Interested in tired old phrase remediation or reductions in redundancies and passive platitudes? Anyone?

Check out the impressive portfolio of real apps online out on the web. It might be great for development of church or school apps too.
