iTeachtoo!

I found a great new tool online and I think if you are a teacher you should sign up and join today!! It is called "I teach too" and it is a 'collaborative' type of website that educators post lessons that they have either created themselves or have found to be useful. It has some awesome lessons and although it seems to be a relatively new site, it already has a wealth of materials!!! I've posted a great resource on the website that I created for my district. The tool is geared towards 2nd grade math but really can be used by teachers of k-3 and will give you a variety of tools to use for teaching mathematics. It is aligned to Florida's new Mathematic Benchmarks and the current Palm Beach County Mathematics Textbook. It is a tool that will be used by teachers in the Palm Beach County School District and I would love for teachers to check it out and leave a comment or add an additional resource!!! The link to "I teach too" is

Moodle

I've been reading about Educational Technology over the past two days and this word 'Moodle' had kept popping up everywhere. Well, of course, being the 'Curious Georgina' that I am, I had to find out what it was. It looks very interesting.... If you use it, please leave a comment. As I try to find some semblence of a definition for you- (you may look up the Wikipedia one if you like)- you can check out Moodle for yourself at the website. It is an absolutlely FREE tool to use and seems to have amazing uses for the classroom...so Moodle away! http://moodle.org/
