Today I am looking at a resources list for Chapter 4 of the ISTE book. I looked at a website called The Teacher Tap. This is a resource for student and teacher portfolios. On the home page you can view more about the project overview. The Teacher Tap is a free online resource for teachers and librarians to help them not be so overwhelmed with the internet. This helps with professional development in a way that anyone can access it, not a particular school. There is a Tech and Learning tab that that has links to ways of using technology in simply and more complex ways in the classroom. There is a Internet Resources tab that has educational resources, content rich websites, collaborative projects, and cool student, educator, and library websites. There is a Libraries and Literacy tab that has links to things that go directly with the library, literacy, language, literature, inquiry, and skills.
This would be very useful in my classroom in the future. I could easily get on a website like this if I need help on a project or a way to use technology in my classroom. This is an easy way to find projects to modify and not re-invent the wheel. This would make my life easier as a teacher and help me not waste too much time coming up with something that is already out there.
