Online Teaching Tools

One of the things I think will make a great impact in teachers using technology more often is their getting used to some of the tools out there to help them do their jobs. I came across this web site that is just jammed packed with tools and other features teachers can start using right away.

http://www.4teachers.org/

The site is easy to navigate and offers such useful items as quiz makers, rubric creators, and information on project based learning and more. All designed to get teacher using technology. Each of these items is customizable and pretty adaptable to most subjects so will be useful to a variety of instructors regardless of topic area.

Take the web site for a spin and let me know what you think. Is this useful?

  1. The link to Rubistar was well worth the price of admission. I'm ALWAYS looking for help to create good rubrics... or any at all. ;)

  2. Wow! That is a good link, Mike. Technology is permeating education so completely there should be a refereed Journal specifically for finding and evaluating educational tools.

    I wonder if there is a Journal of Distance Education Tools?
