So the world wide web is an AMAZING source of information if we know how to find it. Today I looked through some different websites recommended by Brother Chan. I looked through Google's "more" section, dropbox.com, jingproject.com, and rapidintake.com
There is a lot of help for us teachers out there. Google is awesome with lots of resources available. As I looked through it I came upon lesson plan templates, a simple version of powerpoint, google scholar where you can find academic research, there is also google earth, which can be a lot of fun. Google is an awesome source of information!
Dropbox.com is nice. It is an online folder you can access anywhere. It gives you one spot to put all your information and you can reach it on pretty much any electronic device. It's nice because, I believe, you can share a folder with others.
Jingproject.com allows you to make share information in a more creative way than just text. It allows you to send pictures and video, among other things. It spices up the information you send to people.
rapidintake.com is an elearning source. You can use a free trial, but then you have to pay about $60 a month for it. I believe you use it to create courses or to teach via technology, ie something the students can access over the internet. My nieces are homeschooled and so they have learned some by online classes. It is interesting and it will be interesting to see how much this type of teaching comes into play in the near future. It seems important as educators to understand technology and the direction it is heading so we can use it to our benefit and not be left behind! :)
