Geek Your Teaching created by Marilyn Western

Geek Your Teaching is a site that Marilyn Western, the 2008 MACUL Technology-Using Teacher of the Year, created.  She put together a top 10 list of 2.0 websites that can be used in your classroom, and gives suggestions for how to use them.  These are some fantastic resources that will allow you to do a myriad of things with your students.  The sites are free to use, and some have lesson plans and interactive student lessons for different curricular areas.  Students can also directly use these sites to do their activities.  The interactive sites that allow students to blog, chat, create media presentations, share notes, or pictures are able to be made private and accessible to only a class of students at your school.  I was truly amazed by some of these sites she listed, and would love to be able to use them.  I plan to share this with teachers in my building.  She also lists other websites, like an online stopwatch, wordles, rubric generator, and much more.  Definitely worth the time to check out, and spend time exploring!
