Set up to train a public library staff on the newest technologies, this website has some great learning tools for us.

For those who haven't used podcasts yet (me, for example), this article covers some basics and organization ideas as well as both high and low-tech (using pantyhose to cut out ambient noise!) troubleshooting: http://www.thejournal.com/articles/21814_4
Online or paper, this resource is great for keeping educators up-to-date on how the internet can be used creatively in education; makes education more relevant to today's student.
FOSS (Full Option Science System) is produced by The Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. It provides complete science units for K-5; however, even if a school is not subscribing to the program, the website offers exhaustive bibliographies, videographies, and webographies on each of the areas of study.
Bay Nature: offers hundreds of articles on all aspects of the plant and animal life found in San Francisco Bay Area. Short videos (about 2 1/2 minutes) would be great for introducing an area of study. Scroll down to find links to many articles and organizations. Although this is local to northern California, other areas of the country may also have similar organizations offering the same kind of resources.

TeacherTube http://www.teachertube.com/ is a good alternative to YouTube. It does not usually get blocked by filters. I have been collecting technology and elementary school tutorials from its "Channel" to my Google Reader. Teacher or classroom Groups can also be created. Perhaps we can agree to post one of these on the blog.
This is an online library of 2176 outstanding Internet sites categorized by subject, grade level, and format(tools, references, lessons, hotlists, resources, tutorials, activities, projects).
Created by David Warlick as a resource page teachers in the 21st century. It pushes the use of technology in new ways as learning and teaching morph in the information age.
A collection of podcasts intended for instructional use. Some are created by students; some are for teaching; some are both.
We can access student and class podcasts, subjectspecific podcasts, and education podcasts. I can search "Elementary Grades" (90) schools have podcasts
Do you think these could be something teachers could use to "bring in" guest speakers in faraway places? They are both free online talk, chat, and/or video-conferencing tools.

You can create fun online quizzes for webpages with this tool (registration required):
Here is a great way to conduct online polls among students. Students themselves could design and use polls for all sorts of things: http://quimble.com/
Linda Barnett suggested this resource. We could use this as an earth science pathfinder resource for students and teachers.
Janine suggests that we start categorizing our links. We should come up with categories and then some format for listing the name of the site, URL and a description.
http://www.moodle.coma course management system designed to help educators who want to create quality online courses. The software is used all over the world by universities, schools, companies and independent teachers. Moodle is open source and completely free to use.
