www.Edutopia.org
I chose this site to follow because it provides a lot of useful information such as blogs, videos, and strategies. This site allows you to keep up-to-date on educational topics and blog with other educators about issues or ideas that you might have.
www.Teachertube.com
Teacher Tube is much like You Tube, but it is not typically blocked by school firewalls as You Tube is. Teacher Tube has great video lessons in many different subject areas. You can search for a broad subject or a specific aspect of a subject. You can also post video lessons yourself. Although you have to sign up to use the site, it is FREE!
www.TED.com
TED is another great site. I know that we have all watched TED videos for class before, but this site is a great way to be involved and knowledgeable about issues in the educational world. The videos can also be very inspirational.
www.WeeklyReader.com
Weekly Reader is a great resource for students and teachers. This site corresponds with the Weekly Reader students receive. This site does require a subscription, but is well worth the lessons and additional information that is provided on the site. The students love the Weekly Reader and the activities that go along with it.
www.brainpop.com/educators/home
Brain Pop is a site that one of my group members introduced me to. It is packed full of engaging activities and student centered lessons in all subject areas. There are movies, comics, and quizzes that students really enjoy interacting with. The site also has blogs and resources for teachers.
