Socratica

I am continually on the lookout for video channels that teachers can use. Socratica is one I recently read about in one of my blog subscriptions. It has numerous science, math and ELA videos in varied languages. If you are on the lookout for videos that can be resources for your students, maybe this site would be of interest to you.

Websites for Teachers

ReadWriteThink
This is another great website for teachers. 'It offers a plethora of educational materials and resources to use in your classroom with your students.

CK-12
CK-12 is a great platform that 'provides high quality curated STEM content for teachers and students. Its library has over 5000 math and science materials ideal to use in class. Flexbook is one of the best features I like in CK-12. Flexbook provides a wide variety of free textbooks for teachers to use in their lessons. It even allows teachers to create their own Flexbooks using materials from other textbooks in the site. Textbooks are available in multiple formats including: PDF format, Kindle and Nook and iPad.'

Common Sense Educators
The nonprofit Common Sense media is a great educational platform for teachers and educators seeking to enhance their professional development growth and learn about classroom-tested ways to integrate technology in teaching’. Its Digital Citizenship section features a number of interactive games and activities to help students learn how to use technology safely and effectively. The Reviews and Ratings section embeds EdTech tools reviews, how-to videos and lesson plans to help teachers make the best of technology in their teaching.

PBS Learning Media
‘Learn how you can tap into America’s #1 Educational Media Brand for access to thousands of innovative, standards-aligned digital resources, compelling student experiences, and professional development opportunities.’

Writing Resources - Classroom Newspapers

Printing Press (one of the many Read Write Think resources)

Here is a must have tool for creating classroom newspapers. Printing Press is one of the resources you will find on Read Write Think. The interactive Printing Press is designed to assist students in creating newspapers, brochures, and flyers. Teachers and students can choose from several templates to publish class newspapers, informational brochures, and flyers announcing class events.
