LiveBinders


If you haven't seen LiveBinders, there are great uses for this web tool in education. Basically, LiveBinders is a FREE three ring binder for the web. You can collect resources and organize them neatly and easily. You can create multiple tabs across the page with links to various websites or PDFs. This is a great way to "go green" and save paper (and trees!) If you are presenting, LiveBinders is a great way to share your resources. It's also a great way to share resources with others in your grade level, school, district, or globally.

Here are a few that I either saw on twitter or from the featured livebinders on their site:
Tsunami and Volcano Resources
iPads in Schools
QR Codes in Education
An Educator's Guide to Twitter
Amazing Animal Webcams

Internet4Classrooms


Internet4Classrooms is run by Susan Brooks and Bill Byles.  Their goal is to assist teachers in finding high-quality, free internet resources to use in classroom instruction. This site will also keep you busy for hours, if not days!!! Make sure you check out the Grade Level Help for PK-8th grade for standards based links and grade level "Skillbuilders" to help students practice, either at home or in the classroom, what they have been taught.

After checking out their site, you may want to click here to find information on them coming to your school to conduct professional development at your school on technology utilization.  I didn't realize they did professional development training until Susan and I ate lunch together during Apple training we both attended last week. :)

Jefferson County Schools

Warning! This site may keep you busy for hours!  The topics include Curriculum Tools, Tech Tools, and Resource Tools with lots of links under each section. Please share this site with your teachers! It's a great resource!

A Few Free Resources for the Smartboard (Or Other Interactive White Boards)

Triptico offers lots of free resources for teachers. Word Magnets is a great activity for your SmartBoard. It is available free or you can purchase it to be able to save your creations and share activities. There are various backgrounds such as tables and venn diagrams, but you can use it for a simple activity such as creating a sentence and scrambling the words, then let your students put the sentence in order. They can also change the color of words, such as making all adjectives red.
Also on their site, you can find various programs to use with the SmartBoard such as Double Spinner, Timer, Dice, Calculator, Scoreboard, and more!
I highly recommend checking out their site and resources.
