A Vision of the 21st Century Teacher

Sqworl offers visual bookmarking. You can put all your links in 1 web page and share it easily. Here's one I did on some tech tools teachers can use in their classroom. It only took a couple of minutes to do. It's a great way to visually give your kids a group of links.

Bloom's Taxonomy according to Pirates of the Carribean

I thought this was a neat YouTube video illustrating  Bloom's Taxonomy using scenes from Pirates of the Carribean.

Searching the Web

Just came across an interesting site that helps students learn how to search the web more efficiently:
Boolify http://www.boolify.org This is a great way to show students how to use different operators when doing a web search. Boolify utilizes the Google search engine, so it is designed to illustrate Google's search methodology.

Comparison Search  http://www.gleancomparisonsearch.org is a site that allows students to compare two different sides to a topic.

Both of these sites are part of a larger website (http://www.glean.org/) that has information literacy and (coming soon) math and science tools for students to manipulate data and target critical math concepts and skills. Check it out!

Creative Commons search

This site allows you to search Flickr, Google, and a couple of other sources for media available under Creative Commons Licenses.

Easy Bibliography resources

These are places students can go to make citations according to MLA and APA format

http://www.bibme.org/ This one is kind of nice because it allows you to look for your books according to author, title, or ISBN and links you to WorldCat so you can see the book cover.

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ I have used this site extensively when I write papers. It gives detailed instructions on all parts of writing research papers.
