Site of the Week # 2 Edutecher

The Site of the Week # 2 is http://www.edutecher.com/ .

Basics: You go to this site and you can see a lot of other sites that have educational applications.  This site is not an application, rather it is a resource that has links to other sites. 

This site is for the adventurer who would like to see what kind of tools and resources are out there to incorporate into their classroom.

Example:  Here is the front page of the site with some explanations on the side.



Test Kitchen: I have used this site a lot to find different sites.  A new site is added almost every day.  You can subscribe to their RSS feed.  When you subscribe to an RSS feed you will get updates, in one place, for the sites that you are following.  There are sites for every subject area and grade level.

Applications: This site could be used by anyone who wants to incorporate technology into their classroom.  I have found that there are certain categories that most of the sites fall into like: video searching, flashcards, games and practice, collaboration, polls, quizzes, interactive tutorials, photo searching, social bookmarking, class platform building, project based learning, blogs, and wikis.  There are other categories and then there are some sites that don't fit neatly into any category.

Happy exploring!
