Technology Tools For Teachers LINK UP

Last Spring I did a "Technology Tools for Teachers"

 presentation for Xavier University Grad students.  I used the glog below as part of my presentation. 

The professor has asked me to present on the same topic again (to a new group of grad students) and I would LOVE YOUR HELP in finding more technology tools for teachers.

great ipad/ipod apps

smartboard resources

tips for integrating technology across the curriculum

links to technology blogs

smartboard/powerpoint files you've found or created

links to fun youtube clips for learning

technology tools for implementing common core

Really any tech resource that you think other teachers would value. 

Crossing my fingers someone links up with how to create a linky button. For now, please use this to link back from your post. :)
