Association for Superivision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) []

Education guru Robert Marzano and colleagues have joined together and created the ASCD (many years ago). This institution is mainly designed for administrators, however I personally belong to the organization as a select member and the resources amazing and easy to apply to the classroom. In addition, I also receive books every couple of months that are hot off the presses. These are great resources and supply many valuable tips.

The website/blog has many interesting tabs of information. The website helps with details articles, webinars, links to other resources, back articles from their magazine, and in general is appealing to anyone in education. The tips alone are valuable. Many contributors join in each month and weigh in on the hot topics.

Free Technology for Teachers [|www.freetech4teachers.com]

Having just recently stumbled across this website, I was amazed. Within the walls of technology was information that pertained to the teacher in the classroom. For example the latest information on the site talked about an App called CRASH and how it works for teachers. It is a lesson plan on the go, cause let's face, our best lesson ideas do not always happen near pen and paper. Now when an ideas pops into your head, you can use your android phone and OS operating systems to capture the information until it easier to write down.

There are a lot of ads on this site, however they are educational/teacher related and nothing that was deemed to be offensive. There are videos, free ebooks, and comments from teachers of all sorts. This is a site worth looking into.
