"Free Technology for Teachers"

I really enjoyed looking at all Richard Byrne had to offer. I am amazed at how much technology is out there. I guarantee you that my collogues don’t know about half of what is on his blog. I like the way Mr. Byrne has his blog organized, it was very easy to find items that would work in my classroom. One that I really liked was http://www.spellingcity.com. I had actually heard of this website from other teacher but had no idea how to find it or use it. I was so impressed that I instantly signed up and will be using this as an option for my students to practice their weekly spelling words. It has games, handwriting, and audio teaching tools. What a great way for parents to help their children reinforce what you are doing in the classroom. I found another one that would be great unfortunately it is only for IPads and IPhones, since I do not have access to these devices I was unable to preview it. I will make put it on a list for my parents so maybe they can download it. I wish I had more time to sit and sift through all the great stuff that is out there. Pinterest is another great site to find other teacher's blogs. I lose track of time just reading all the teachers blogs that have been created and the great ideas that they have. My goal is to start creating my own blog and sharing my ideas as well. I think that given the time I could also create one that my students could access that would link them to new worlds of learning and understanding. Somehow I will find the time. http://www.freetech4teachers.com.
