I figure if Oprah can have a "favorite things" list then so can I. And just like Oprah, I am going to give all my favorite things away for free to my loyal audience. Now, I don't want to stall the excitement, so here are my favorite things (on the web)...
1. Thinkquest.org (Sign a team up to compete in this worldwide competition. Students build a website and have a chance to win great prizes!)
2. Portaportal.com (Compile a list of your favorite websites to view on any computer. Share your portal with friends, students, and teachers)
3. Teacher's Domain (A new gem brought to us by PBS. Free videos, lesson plans, and professional development for science teachers)
4. Google for Educators (Who doesn't google? Now, google has created a great site with free posters, lesson plans, and tools to make your life easier as a teacher)
5. Read Write Think (The student resources has easy and fun to use interactive activities. Just check to make sure shockware is installed on the computers. Also, site has lessons and web resources)
6. Einstein Chalkboard (Add your own text to Einstein's chalkboard. Have fun and print them! While you are there, try the magic 8 ball and newscaster chick)
7. FCIT (Tons of educator friendly things including clip art, 3D images, LIT2Go, Holocaust resources, and more)
8. Way Back Machine (Find information that may no longer be available on a site. Check out your teacher homepage and see how far you have come)
9. Teachertube.com (Find teachers doing crazy things and a few educational videos too!)
10. eschool news (Get a weekly recap on everything great with educational technology)
So on a lazy afternoon this holiday break, slip into your warmest PJs, make a cup of coffee, curl up with your computer and explore these fantastic websites.
Enjoy!
