Lisa Nielsen: The Innovative Educator Steve Hargadon Catlin Tucker, Honors English Teacher | Blended Learning and Technology in the Classroom The EdTech Roundup - Home The Ultimate EdTech Chart for Teachers and Educators February 7, 2017 Below is a chart we have been working on during the last few weeks. It features a number of key websites and online resources arranged into different categories. We did not cover all school subjects but we will be adding more resources to the list in the future. Our purpose is to provide teachers and educators (and students) with a repository of EdTech websites that can potentially help them with the teaching of their content areas. The great thing about this work is that it is curated by teachers for teachers. You can download this chart in PDF format from this link. Sources:

Teaching - Office of Educational Technology Teaching Section 2: Teaching with Technology Goal: Educators will be supported by technology that connects them to people, data, content, resources, expertise, and learning experiences that can empower and inspire them to provide more effective teaching for all learners. Technology offers the opportunity for teachers to become more collaborative and extend learning beyond the classroom. Educators can create learning communities composed of students; fellow educators in schools, museums, libraries, and after-school programs; experts in various disciplines around the world; members of community organizations; and families. This enhanced collaboration, enabled by technology offers access to instructional materials as well as the resources and tools to create, manage, and assess their quality and usefulness. To enact this vision, schools need to support teachers in accessing needed technology and in learning how to use it effectively. Authentic Learning Connected Educators: Exemplars
