ED REPORTS
Recently, I attended a Webinar that was given by April Pfordts at the Iowa Department of Education. She had experts from Ed Reports present on how to more efficiently use their website.
*******************************
1 to 1 Schools - this blog has some great resources!
********************************
This is an awesome website for all science kids wanting to do a project for Science Fair!

This TED Talk discusses the Power of Introverts. Yes, we have them in our classrooms, and some of the group projects we make them do can actually be hurting them. Please take a look:

Websites for Muscatine teachers (more can be found at the mathematics and language arts page):
Teaching Channel
I discovered this through public television, and it's an incredible site with tons of teacher videos. Go "visit" other teacher's classrooms and see how they differentiate, or see how they are taking their students deeper with more complexity in language arts. There are thousands of videos.
Quantiles
This is an amazing website for math instructors! Time is short and math instruction needs to be focused. This easy tool helps educators locate resources that can help with instruction and identify those skills that are most relevant to the topic of the daily instruction.
This tool has been aligned with state mathematics curriculum standards to make it directly applicable to use in the classroom.
Once at the homepage, click on the lower right corner, Quantile Teacher's Assessment. From here, select our state Iowa, your grade level, then the objective. For example, I searched for a 4th grade 4.NBT.4 standard: Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standards. Quantiles came back with more than 10 lessons - ready to use - within a wide range of abilities. For your G/T students, choose the higher level quantile resource. For your lower students, choose the lower level.

Study Ladder
Awesome tool with whiteboard lessons, printouts, K-6 curriculum, interactive lessons. You can sign up your whole class.

Read, Write, Think
This is a great reading & writing resource for teachers! It includes lessons K-12, student interactives, iPad apps for poetry, and contains a professional development portion. This is sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association.

Although this takes some time to learn, it is a GREAT tool for organization. It acts as a virtual 3-ring-binder. You can share your binder with others or keep it private. You can view other binders and reap the benefits of others' hard work.
**********************
This is an excellent website with thousands of videos covering a multitude of subject matter. Remember when we used to have a subscription to United Streaming? This is pretty similar, but free!
**********************
This is more for students than for teachers, although, you can use this to create "flashcards" for your students. This works really well for vocabulary.
Course Sites by Blackboard
This works much like Edmodo. You can create up to five courses online, create a secure way to allow your students to blog with one another, and integrate multimedia into the class you create.

If you haven't heard of Ted, you will want to check it out after looking into Ted Ed. This is an awesome site with videos, quality talks, and links to resources and lessons specifically for educators. You will be directing your students to this site, too.

A world class education at your fingertips! Subjects, playlists, accelerated content.

Massively organized online courses for FREE! You can stay up to date, enhance your own learning, or direct a student to take a class from this site. There are actual assignments, and courses are usually around 8 weeks in length. They are highly-accelerated, so great for those advanced students in upper grades.

ATEEC gladly lends equipment out to local area educators. Most of their kits have to do with energy, solar kits, windmills, and so forth.
