Back at it! (Take 2)

Wow, that last post was an epic fail. Hopefully this one will be better.

To continue where I left of last time - looking at ALA's Best Websites for Teaching & Learning - I decided that it would be appropriate to start at the beginning of their archives (2009) and work my way forward. However, to save everyone from some boredom, I'll only be discussing those websites that I personally have seen used or think could be useful to advocate at my own school.

To keep myself on track I'm going to attempt to stick to the following schedule:

 1/28 - Wikispaces
1/31 - Animoto
2/4 - Wordle
2/7 - Facebook
2/11 - Goodreads
2/14 - Ning
2/18 - Skype
2/21 - Twitter
2/25 - Prezi
3/4 - International Children's Digital Library
3/7 - Storybird
3/11 - Evernote
3/14 - TED
3/18 - Edmodo
3/21 - Khan Academy
3/25 - Pinterest
4/15 - Discovery Education
4/18 - Library of Congress
4/22 - MIT Open Courseware
4/25 - WebQuest
4/29 - Google Earth
5/2 - Haiku
5/6 - ?
5/9 - ?

*One note of caution if you're reading from a public school perspective: I don't pay much, if any, attention to the "Standards for the 21st-Century Learner" that ALA provides in their analysis of the sites. I work at a private boarding school and while we have high standards and expectations for our educational environment, they are nowhere near as explicitly stated as they are in public education.*
