Abby Brunner's List: Week 3

Reading Rockets is a site used in the Seminar: Children and Young Adult Literature course I am taking. Can be very useful in the classroom or library for locating author interviews, book lists and other book related information.

AASL Standards for the 21st Century Learner. These are the current standards used by librarians.

ISTE NETS for students, will be used in all areas involving technology in schools.

Wordle is a 2.0 tool where you can create "word clouds." This site is extremely easy to use and could be fun for students to create their own.

Teacher Tube is like You Tube but with educational videos instead of anything and everything. You have to watch a commercial before the video but this is a great resource for any subject area.

Glogster is a site where interactive posters can be created.

Great free site for creating quizzes in any subject area. Very easy to use and several different types of questions can be used when creating the quizzes. Note: the site is run by the University of Kansas and operates on Central time.

My local public library, I don't know why I didn't think to add this earlier. I use their site frequetly to check out their catalog and to access Power Library from home.

Allows you to make "notes" on the Internet, they can consist of just about anything like text or photos and can be accessed from your computer or phone. A great organizational tool.

Information for teachers on using books in the classroom. Includes new release books and summer reading info.
