77 Web Resources for Teachers

Do you want more things to do over summer, here is a great list of web tools that you can research and plan to incorporate next year.  The list is divided into subject areas as well as general curriculum use.  They've even included a section for specialists.

What I like about this list is that it is not "educational" sites, rather, they are sites that can be used to enhance education.

Summer is here...Time to learn about technology

Here is an interesting article about what you can do over your summer break to develop your tech skills.

Some highlights:

  • Create a framework for your use of educational technology. Use that framework for evaluating technology and how it will help you reach your instructional goals.
  • Start a blog or revive a dormant blog. 
  • Get familiar with an OS that you don't normally use.
  • Try a tablet-only weekend. 
  • Subscribe to some new-to-you blogs about technology and education. 
  • Follow and converse with some new people on Twitter.
