toward transformative practices || GMJH || [] || I am interested in providing a larger audience for student writing in my classroom. || This site includes information on all different types of media which allows teachers to provide more opportunities for students to be creative and imaginative. || GMMSS || http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/teachers/resources/subj_13_03.html || It offers a variety of classroom activities. || The activities offered allow for students to engage themselves in 21st century skills: using real-life situations and technology to problem solve and collaborate with heir peers. ||

 * < Cheryl/eTech ||< Ohio 21st Century Partnership Website[|http://21stcenturyskillsohio.org] || This is a resource which brings a “one-stop shop” focused on infusing 21st Century Skills into education to Ohio. || Ohio has made a commitment to building world class skills and knowledge in our educational system. Educators, administrators, students, parents, business and civic leaders and policymakers are now collaborating to re-vamp historical school designs and traditional classroom learning environments, re-tool academic content standards and assessment tools. ||
 * Rachel Owens/Asbury || Twitter (www.twitter.com) || I have found Twitter to be a very valuable resource for PD and learning new ways to incorporate 21st century skills. || Following educators on Twitter who are already using 21st Century (web 2.0) skills in their classrooms will give educators new ideas and keep them up to date with current and new transformative practices. Some I like to follow are @kathyschrock @web20classroom @coolcatteacher @TeacherCast @rmbyrne @KleinErin. ||

 * Gina Good/GMJH || Figment || Thought this looked like a neat way for young adults to share work. || It seems to be free and safe. It looks like an opportunity for students to share their work with a larger audience. ||
 * Gina Capra/ Dunloe || http://www.internet4classrooms.com/ || This is a good resource for teachers that need extra support with technology. || This site has a lot of activities for students to work on as well as training for teachers on searching the web and integrating technology. ||
 * Maggie Hacquard/ South || [] || I found this site on pinterest (which is a great resource in itself.) It gives TONS of ideas for how to use technology in the classroom. || This is a blog post called "119 Interesting Ways to Use Lots of Stuff." It includes the following: 23 interesting ways to use Google Earth in the classroom, 38 interesting ways to use your interactive whiteboard, 39 interesting ways to use your pocket video camera in the classroom, and 19 interesting ways to use google docs in the classrooms. These are all web 2.0 tools that will enhance our lessons, keep our students engaged, and help them construct their own understanding through collaboration and connection to the real world. Many of the ideas are simple, but I would have never thought of them on my own! ||
