In reading over the resourses, one that held great interest to me was the teacher training videos by Richard Stannard. As I have been learning more about curriculum and ways to make changes in my school, giving new assessments has been a target. This resourse not only gives ideas on how to change up some assessments or ways to communicate with your students it also explains how to do it. From blogger to prezi, screen casts to youtube a brief summary is given and then a link to follow. Teachers everywhere are extremely busy, so having a site that pulls many ideas and resourses together is a gift.
Teachers are reluctant to use some technology because it may be out of their comfort zone, by using a site like this, they are given ideas that have been tried and found to be useful. Stannard is a teacher who uses a lot of the technology he puts up on his page. As new applications and technology are coming to us at amazing speed, this site can be seen as a filter or a starting point for teachers who are less tech savy. I plan on forwardng this to a few teacher that I know would like to try something new, but have been overwhelmed with information and fear using something that may not work well.
