SpellingCity

SpellingCity w/out a doubt is my favorite site for Spelling and Vocabulary.  This is a great site w/ educational portal that allows educators to create word lists that can be incorporated into educational games.  These games are not only fun but highly engaging and help students learn their "words".  Also, an educator can track students, find an abundance of resources/videos, and even use it for mobile learning w/ a free mobile app  (iOS/Android).

Below is a brief demo of the free mobile app...

Visme

Visme is a wonderful new (beta) site for creating beautiful looking interactive presentations, animations, infographics and more.  This is a simple to use drag-n-drop site that educators can use in a wide variety of ways (i.e. announcements, project based learning, etc.).  Best of all, a user has complete control over their content and has a wide range of controls from privacy setting, sharing (embedding), and more.

Teaching Channel

Teaching Channel is a great site to see teachers "in action".  This is a great way to learn effective teaching techniques and strategies while being inspiring as well.  A teacher can join their online community to share and collaborate w/ other educators and share lesson plans as well, and even annotate on digital videos.

Biteslide is a wonderful site that I've covered many times before that allows users to create beautiful slidebooks/presentations w/ simple to use drag-n-drop tools.  Best of all, it is all done through an educational portal that allows educators to create and manage student account.  Educators are using Biteslide for project based learning, flip a lesson, and more.
