Check out these useful sites - information, resources, and tools for teachers and students both:
SchoolTube is an educator-moderated video sharing site, much like YouTube - except every video is previewed by an actual teacher before it goes live. Not only can teachers access informative videos to enhance classroom instruction, but students can create and post videos as part of curricular projects.
TeacherTube is almost identical in content and function to SchoolTube, though videos on this site are not moderated before being posted.
Have you joined in the Twitter-mania yet? Twitter for Teachers and Twitter 4 Teachers are two sites that will link you up with other Twittering educators to receive lesson plan, classroom management advice, and other teaching tips.
Internet research is a great tool for stretching the minds of high-ability students. Is there something more, or better, than Wikipedia? How about Wikipedia for Schools, which offers thousands of articles that have been checked for accuracy and classroom-appropriateness.
Of course, Google is ubiquitous, but you can't beat the selection of tools available: blog and website hosting, custom search engines, tip posters, and the powerful Google Docs. Check out Google for Educators and discover a ton of resources!
