Top Five Spelling Resources
This is good everyone. Visit Tom Barrett at ICT in my Classroom at http://tbarrett.edublogs.org/2008/10/03/top-5-spelling-resources/. I had to share this one.
Think Before You Jump
Some good thinking here. “Don’t expect anyone in your staffroom to empathize with your new found vision. Where you previously sourced information (your primary sources : colleagues, professional publications and Google) – you will now start getting them from your network – this is alien to most teachers.” and
“ Listen to podcasts – buy an iPod – listen in the car or where ever – podcasting is blogging out loud – and there are some great Ed Tech stories out there.”
Flickr Commons
A great resource to prompt your students to write. Get with it and give it a try!
Gaming and Literacy Bookmarks
Here are some bookmarks I have been collecting that offer free gaming in education sites on the web. Please email me with other cool sites to add to this collection.

“This video from Consumer Reports Web Watch is featured as part of the Blog Herald’s series on scam detection. This animated, music video provides viewers with a three minute lesson about detecting Internet scams.”
