Amazing Resource

     I want to take a few moments to tell you about a site that I found recently, entirely by accident.  I have found that sometimes just sitting down at the computer and digging around in strange directions that I find some really neat tools for me to use.  Well, this website is for both teachers and students and it is very full of resources.  You may be overwhelmed at first, but it is definitely worth looking at.

     The site is called Edutecher.com  and it just amazes me that someone took the time to collect all of these resources for us and even give a brief description on each one.  There is a menu along the left hand side that allows you to sort and narrow the field when you are looking for a tool specifically for a use in a certain subject.  Do not be alarmed when you narrow the field and you still come up with 750 resources!  It really has sorted them and cut out the ones you don't need.  I am going to start posting some of the really cool tools that I find on this blog on their own page, so keep your eyes open.  If you want to dive in and start looking at them on your own then go ahead and dive in!  You may find tools that you find very valuable to something that you are teaching that I may not even consider.  Also, if you feel overwhelmed by the list, just let me know about some tools you may be looking for and as I look through them I will keep you in mind and will keep track of items you may want to look at.

     When I first got to edutecher.com and started to look I thought that there had to be a catch, or at the very least, some spyware.  Most sites do not give out great information like this without us paying some sort of price.  I will tell you that the site is clean and you have nothing to worry about when it comes to spyware and such.  Please read this page to get to know more about this site and why it is in operation and why it is free for us.  I cannot express to you in words just how excited I am to find this and share it with you.

      I would love any feedback you have to offer on this, positive or negative.  Let me know if you have looked at it and if you think you would use any of these things in your teaching or classroom.  I am going to be posting things that I think might be useful to you, but it would be great to hear from anyone who either uses a tool that works great or even requests that I post a tool for others to take notice of.
