Technology in the Classroom
Free Technology for Teachers This blog was created with teachers in mind and is written by Richard Byrne. It supplies teachers with great tips and advice, resources, and lesson plans relating to various types of technologies. The site also has free downloads and Google tutorials and is very easy to maneuver through. There is a range of resources on this page from various tools found online to technological AP Calculus lessons. This website is very organized and user-friendly. I rate this site 4 out of 5  stars because it is user-friendly, it has lots of accurate information, resources, and tips, and it gives timely updates. [|http://www.freetech4teachers]

[|Mr.R's Blogspot]This is a free blog site that has many sources for anyone who deals with technology. Mr. R writes that this site is for education, technology, edTech, and "other gobbledigook". This site is easy to navigate has every concievable type of technology categories from Blackberries to Wordpress. It includes videos too. It is a great site for any 'techi" and I would recommend it for the wide range of informaion it contains. A 5 out of 5 stars due to all it covers. http://﻿mrarrah.wordpress.com

Langwitches Blog This blog was created by Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano and it is similar to the Free Technology for Teachers Blog in that it also supplies resources, tips, and articles about various types of technology and tools. It is different in that it posts actual student work and how real teachers use technology in their own classrooms. I rate this site  a 5 out of 5 stars because it is corresponds with what I am looking for: ways to integrate technology into the classroom. The site is organized, has short and to the point posts, and lots of support specifically for teachers and technology. []

Tech & Learning <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This blog is a minefield of resources for teachers. It seems to be a collaboration of various bloggers contributing their articles about various news bits in the world of technology. Just from looking at the menu bar at the top of the homepage, one can see that this site offers blogs, best practices, webinars (which is awesome!), videos, resources, tips, and much more. **An article I found particularly useful is, Top Ten Alternatives to YouTube YouTube can be such a great tool, but since it is blocked from most school sites it's impossible to use in the classroom. This article has ten alternatives, which will make our lives easier in that we don't have to go looking for them. I rate this website <span style="color: #ff2f00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">a 4 out of 5 <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">. This site has so much useful information making it very text-heavy. I may be biased, but since I am more of a visual learner I like pictures and visuals. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[|httpp://techlearning.com]
