Finding, Saving, and Sharing Resources for Math and Science Teachers

allows you to subscribe to blogs and websites and creates a list of the titles of the articles so you can easily skim through and see what you would like to read benefits: easy to look through the titles and pick and choose what to read

Brad suggested this, it seems to be similar to Flipbook/ Zite, but in RealTime

This can be a good way to find information- PEOPLE TO FOLLOWThe Pew Institute (for data and statistics)NCTMEducation Politicscolleagues Dan MeyerMaria Andersen

Similar to flipboard on ipad- it's a "Smart Magazine" Medium: ipad, iphone, android phonebenefits: personalized- allows you to like or dislike things and finds more things you like

Magazine that feeds articles from your twitter, facebook, google reader, and other categories such as articles on technology or news MEDIUM: iPad and iPhone

Delicious helps you find cool stuff and collect it for easy sharing. Dig into stacks created by the community, and then build your own!

Compiles a list of things you want to read later. Organizes articles using tagsMEDIUM: any device (computer, phone, tablet) It is compatible with almost everything except maybe google reader.

Every get a great idea when you're away from the computer? These technologies will help you remember your ideas and keep them organized in one place.

Works for computers, phones, and tablets (apple and android devices)

Who are we? A group of math nerds in the UkanTeach Program (and a few cool science people who like math too) What do we do? We share new technologies, new ideas, current trends, and innovative practices in an informal setting with FOOD. Can't come to meetings? Join the group anyway to share information and learn from others. Click on the link to join!

Although blogs may not be the best way to share information when you're just starting out, studies have shown that blogs are a great way to remember and learn things while you're teaching. If you have a teacher blog, post it here and hopefully we can get more people blogging and following!

Although DELICIOUS is great for saving- this is also a place you can refer people to to show them collections of articles or resources you may have accumulated on a topic. (Delicious stacks can be made public or private)

Thank you to Margie HIll for compiling this amazing list of resources

Inside Mathematics is a professional resource for educators interested in improving students' mathematics learning and performance. This site features classroom examples of innovative teaching methods and insights into student learning, tools for mathematics instruction that teachers can use immediately, and video tours of the ideas and materials on the site.Check out the info on the Standards for Mathematical Practices.......quite good!

The NCTM Illuminations Web site is designed to illuminate the new vision for school mathematics as presented in NCTM's Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Goals of Illuminations: 1.) Provide resources that will help improve the teaching and learning of mathematics for all students. 2) Provide resources that bring alive the ideas and recommendations set forth in the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (Standards 2000). 3) Provide Standards-based resources for classroom use. 4) Help communicate the vision of Standards-based mathematics teaching and learning.

free lessons, math news, puzzles, games, help center, and much more designed for students, teachers, and parents

a site FULL of many lesson ideas and classroom activities.

Get the Math is designed to help students understand real-world applications of Algebra I. A series of interrelated video segments and interactive tools support student learning of algebra concepts related to music, fashion, and videogames. Teacher resources include videos of a New Jersey teacher using Get the Math materials in his classroom, as well as lesson plans with student handouts.

The Mathematics Forum provides a variety of resources for mathematics educators. Including a PROBLEM OF THE WEEK

The American Mathematical Society (AMS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics maintain a Word Wide Web site that discusses nonacademic careers in mathematics.
