Richard Byrne of Free Technology 4 Teachers fame, has created an excellent site compiled of his favorite technology resources. I've been taking a look through some of these and am happy to report that the sites that he recommends are different then some of your more popular ones. This helps get the creative juices flowing.
I highly recommend checking out his resource site by clicking here!!!
Thanks for the link to freetechnology4teachers. There are a number of excellent resources on the site. My wife and I have worked in K-12 education for over 11 years. My wife is an elementary teacher and I manage the I.T. department. I have noticed that collaborative technologies for education have been very scattered throughout the Internet. There are curriculum / resource sites, K-12 related blogs and tweets, but finding others to collaborate with has always been somewhat challenging. I'm hoping to change that with a project I've been working on for over a year now called K12Advantage.com. It's a site that encompasses all areas of K12 (Teaching / Curriculum, Facilities, Finance, Administration, Technology) under one umbrella (with their own sub sections). The site also includes a number of collaborative tools including: Forums, Blogs, One on one and group chats (including text, video and audio) with whiteboard, group document and desktop sharing. For convenience, users can subscribe to content through email or RSS. There really are more features than I can post here. I want the site to be driven by people working in K-12 education. Please visit this site as I welcome everyone's feedback and contributions.
ReplyDeleteI should also mention the site is totally free.
