One site that Eduteacher.net offers, that is also on the Kan-ed site, is 4teachers.org. You know this website is useful if it comes up on various websites. The biggest message 4teachers.org is trying to send is teachers need to be integrating technology into their classroom. It covers assessment of technology and stories of how other educators have successfully been using technology in the class. The Educators Resources is the best part about this page, more specifically the Assistive Technology which offers sources that can assist students with a disability or visual impairments all the way to training for educators on how to use technology effectively with students who have a disability. You could spend hours on this website.
On Eduteacher I chose the subject language arts and another source it offers is bookshouldbefree.com which allows anyone to download free audio books in mp3 format. It has 19 different genres to choose from with plenty of well-known authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Herman Melville, Jack London even Beatrix Potter. Users simply click on the work of their choice and decide whether to send it to iTunes as a podcast or keep it as a compressed mp3 file.
A lot of websites Eduteacher offers under the language arts heading are for ESL or ELL students such as EnglishCafe.com. You can find lessons even become a member and chat or collaborate with other teachers who teach English as a second language or to students who are just learning. It allows you sign up and do all of these things through Facebook as well. Registering is free and simple for those interested.
