Great Sites for Great Teachers

 Collections of sites, technology integration activities abound. Here are a few that you may find helpful.

LiveBindersis a site that allows users to create a virtual binder of website resources on a particular topic.  The advantage for the rest of us is that we are able to view and use the resources as well. (http://livebinders.com/ )

 The computer teacher at **St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal School in Winnetka, California** is one of the best sources you’ll ever find for using technology in your classroom. Her activities are creative, simple and very engaging. Activities are arranged by grade level, and be sure to to look at the “Previous Projects” links posted in the left hand column. If you surf around, you’ll find some wonderful examples of simple, collaborative projects she’s done with other schools.  ( http://stmcomputers.wikispaces.com/ )

 Shari Galgano, the Technology Resource Teacher at Cesar Rodney Middle School has created a list of **Elementary School Links,** arranged by grade level, (grades 3-5) and then subject, that will provide ideas and suggestions for almost every activity.  http://www.teachers.cr.k12.de.us/~galgano/elemkids.htm

 The **Technology Resources page** on the above site has some wonderful tutorials and lessons – and while some of the pages are rather dated, others have been updated this year and all still hold some very useful information.  ( http://www.teachers.cr.k12.de.us/~galgano/index.html )
