Laura Candler lauracandler@att.net "Interactive Fraction Bars”
To find it online, go to http://www.lauracandler.com ->File Cabinet ->Math->Fractions and click on link
http://www.lauracandler.com/filecabinet/math/fractions.php
or go directly to URL: http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/47750
I chose this tool because it's extremely effective for teaching fractions in elementary school. It's a free interactive tool that can be used on a whiteboard or just projected onto a screen. I wanted to explain it because it's not that user friendly and a 2-minute explanation could help people understand how to use it.
Lorna Costantini Screensteps http://www.bluemangolearning.com/screensteps/
Screensteps is a web application good for authoring tutorials and how-to-guides. I find it very helpful to quickly create blog posts, webpages and pdf's with screenshots and embedded videos. I use the tool for my blogs and Moodle courses.

Paula Naugle I would like to share Edmodo. I created a group for us called CR2.0 Live Friends. The code to join the group is jp8hww
http://www.edmodo.com
This is my second year using Edmodo with my 4th graders and they love it. I like that they can use Edmodo without having to have an email address. They are learning how to interact in a free and secure online social networking space. I can post assignments, polls, embed videos and so much more with Edmodo.
I belong to several groups on Edmodo and it helps me continue my learning. I just set up a collaborative group for the fourth graders in my district that we will use in the new year. I am excited by the possibilities it will provide us to connect and collaborate.
Scott Merrick Second Life :)
http://www.iste.org/connect/communities/second-life.aspx
and http://secondlife.com
I think this tool actually chose me. We meet in Second Life once a month for information sessions about how this "sense of place at a distance" tool can create valuable shared experiences amongst collegial colleagues.Scott Merrick: http://opensimulator.org
Mike DeFoe LiveBinders http://livebinders.com/
I use LiveBinders for my staff professional development because:
LiveBinders is my 3-ring binder for the Web
It collects my resources
Organizes them neatly and easily
Presents them with pride
and best of all, it's free!
Peggy George Evernote (both for iphone and computer) http://www.evernote.com/
Evernote is one of the most valuable tools I use every day. I can add notes from my iphone or my computer and sync to access them either place. I use it to capture chat during webinars and even full day virtual conferences so I have all of my notes and clickable links in one location. The notes are searchable and I can find things easily. You can store PDFs and even add photos. You can clip text from web pages to paste into Evernote. If you're a premium user you can even add docs and spreadsheets to your notes. Evernote is also integrated with yolink search enhancement to clip notes and links.
Donna Baumbach Qrait http://qrait.com
I was looking for something different to continue to show teacher ed students the possibilities and stumbled upon Qrait. It allows you to build a collection of resources on a topic. It could be used by students to gather and Qrait information on their research topic or to build a tutorial. I used it for a quick overview of Animoto: http://qrait.com/users/baumbach/animoto combining Animoto Videos, blog posts, web links, and Tweets. Each topic is called a molecule and each element added is an atom. You can search for and use other people's molecules, and molecules can be embedded in a wiki or webpage. Still in beta, the developer has been very responsive to suggestions from an educator. (I like that!) Similar to Montage ( http://montage.cloudapp.net/ ) but I think easier for students...especially elementary-aged students.
Melissa Getz "Delicious-For me it is more than a mere bookmarking tool. " http://www.delicious.com/home
I am new to Web2.0 and learning without pen and paper nearby. For me, I learn best when I write down what I hear being said. I rarely remember things that are presented orally unless I write them down. This summer I took a training course that used lots of Jing videos. I will use Delicious to tag the video so I know where to go for future reviewing and use the notes area to do the kinesthetic listening. Since the videos were technically proprietary, I have them labeled as private so nobody but me should see they exist. (I hope). The next thing I need to figure out is how to selectively share links with people. I understand that can be done with de.li.cious, but I have not figured it out yet.
Video overview Melissa shared during the session:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U26yPdOpyqwRobin Cochran-Dirksen Biomolecular Explorer 3-D from U-Mass Ed http://www.umass.edu/molvis/bme3d/materials/explore.html
I use this tool to visualize biological molecules ALL THE TIME in lectures. The jMol javas lets you rotate molecules so the students can see what the heck you're going on about.
Patti Duncan Tagxedo (like Wordle, but better)
http://www.tagxedo.com/
I chose this tool because I like the creative aspect of it along with the word cloud concept. I see it as a powerful alternate assessment opportunity when students can not only arrange key words for a concept into a cloud, but also do it in the shape of an image... that also represents the concept...
Christopher Lee Floorplanner.com is an online tool for creating simple floor plans. It does require an email address for setup, but it can save designs online and has export capabilities. http://www.floorplanner.com/
I used to use it when I first started teaching Intro to Drafting (because our kids needed training wheels before AutoCAD). Now that I teach Business, I use it for my Entrepreneurship class to do the layout of their startup businesses. It is fabulous and has a very small learning curve.
Barbara Bray Wall Wisher www.wallwisher.com
This is a great brainstorming tool that I use with students and teachers for PD. Go here for an example how we're using it with ISTE SIG ILT
rene palafox http://www.wix.com/rpalafox/tintero http://www.wix.com/karinah2525/Karinah
I chose this site because it's a great tool for teachers and also allows students to create their own pages
Trent Robertson Jing from TechSmith http://www.jingproject.com
In the teaching position of creating "how to" documents for technology training sessions, I stumbled across several products that help me reduce the immense amount of time in creating a "how to" document. Simply, I use Jing to create "how to" videos. Jing is a FREE application. However, there is a Pro version available. There is a maximum of 5 minutes recording time per video. Jing is also a screencapture program as well. Jing records audio. When I find myself needing a substitute teacher, I use Jing for my lesson plans. Enjoy-:)

jodi: I didn't sign up to share but Kevin reminded me of a tool I have my teachers use in the classroom. One for newcasting and for remedial reading. It is http://www.cueprompter.com/
It allows you to type in your words/script or copy and paste them. Then students can read this for practice in fluency or more difficult words....works for newscasting classes as well as for reading fluency. Free and very easy to use.

Great index of whiteboard activities:
http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/player/index.htm
http://www.tes.iboard.co.uk/player/frameset.htm?id=2989&view=history&name=Transport%20Timeline
It has dawned on me recently that whiteboard activities can be used by people like me that don't have a whiteboard, but do have an optical projector to share online material with my students.
Something I found on the index listed above - Great activities for an inventions unit, or the history of transportation:
To find the transportation links, go to History on the whiteboard activities link listed above. There is a timeline for transportation called Transport Timeline, and an accompanying encyclopedia called Transport Mini Encyclopedia.
The Transport Timeline website has illustrations of various ships, cars, airplanes. You place them on a timeline. After you have placed the illustrations on the timeline, click the button entitled "period" to find if you are correct.
This interactive tool would be a great way to introduce the history of modern transportation inventions. You could display this in class using an optical projector and have different students come up to move the transportation vehicles to various parts on the timeline.
The website also has a fun link for painting with symmetry. Go to the index link listed above. To find the symmetry activity, go to ICT, then Draw an Egg. Click on mirror for symmetry. By the way, this index link is for early readers. However, I will use whatever works for my fifth graders! They will never know that these links are for Kindergarten students!
