__General Resources for Teachers__
Rated 4/5 - Chantel Teachers Love SMART Boards [] It has a ton of links. It also offers help integrating tech. I liked the thanksgiving activity links. :) Wow, this website sure is helpful! so many ideas to explore! Great find! Website also offers SMART Board trainings (for a fee) and automatic updates via e-mail. Rated: 4/5 - Kuuipo TeacherLingo.com is a teacher friendly, safe community dedicated to teachers. [] This site offers an array of information via blogs, activities, lesson plans, and ideas. I give the site 4pts-only because there can be A LOT of information to go through, and there are also resources that cost money. If you're like me, you look for as many freebies as you can!

Rated: 5/5 - Kuuipo Scholastic: [] Most teachers are aware of this particular website, however, I use it a lot for things other than CA. They have a lot of teacher/parent/student resources and activities; some are even free!

Rated: 5/5 - Kuuipo United Streaming: [] This is a paid subscription site, however, it's houses thousands and thousands of full length videos, video clips, art work, movies, pictures, etc. that can be downloaded to your computer and then embedded in to a document like Word or Power Point. I've used this site many, many times and cannot say enough good about it.

Rated: 5/5 - Kourtney Dot Learnt [] This blog is written by members of the Bon Education team. The space is used to explore the intersection of education, technology and social media. The aim is to be useful and thought-provoking. Bon Education is an EdTech consultancy and training organization. When looking at the utility of this blog, it is evident the people who are contributing are very educated and knowledgeable about education, technology and social media. The blog has filtered categories to organize information posted. Such categories are research, reviews, stories, thoughts, videos, and uncategorized. I would rate this as a 5 due to the nature of it being global research and organized.

Rated: 3/5 - Kourtney Assorted Stuff [] Tim Stahmer is the webmaster of this blog. He is an Instructional Technology Specialist working in the Office of Instructional Technology Integration for an overly-large school district on the Virginia side of Washington DC. Mostly the website consists of Tim Stahmer’s observations on the state of public education in the United States and the perpetual efforts to reform it. It also contains comments on instructional technology, blogging and the read-write web (aka Web 2.0), various forms of media, digital rights and fair use, a very small dab of politics, and the everyday oddities of life that pop up. This site, although consisting of random posts on occasion, has an intellectual twist to it. I would rate this site as a 3 because I think it could have better structure and organization.

Rated: 4/5 - Kourtney Jill Russ **[] ** Mrs. Jill Russ is a third grade teacher in Florida at James E. Plew Elementary School. She has utilized this blog for her students to post work. It also has a link to her website which contains a range of ideas for each subject especially if you are a third grade teacher like me! The resources present are student-centered with a link to her website which allows for more teacher support. She also has terms and conditions to ensure the safety maintained with the use of this blog. On top of students writing, she has posted teacher assignments for students to complete. I would rate this website as a 4 due to the nature of it being student-centered.

Rated: 5/5 - Heather **Professional Organizations in Education** [] This website is home to dozens of professional organizations including links to their website addresses.

Rated: - Kuuipo Dropbox: [] I saw the Missy had posted this site on her Wiki, and I wanted to post it for us as well. It's a way to transfer documents from computer to computer. I've heard of it before, but have never used it myself.
