Social Media Sites for Teachers

The following is post from a site I follow (SmartBrief).

Great stuff on how teachers are embracing social media, instead of complaining about it.

Remember, we live in a culture, not a vacuum.

7 social-media sites for teachers

Mashable is recommending seven free social-media tools for teachers, including EDU 2.0, which is similar to Blackboard and Moodle, and an organizational tool called SymbalooEDU that allows teachers to store their work and share it with others. Two recommended blogging sites are Edublogs, which allows students and teachers to create blogs, and Kidblog, which is a simple platform that is good for younger users. Mashable (10/16)

Teachers can search National Archives using online tool

A new online tool called DocsTeach recently was launched by the National Archives and provides a resource for teachers to search more than 3,000 primary-source documents. The site also includes seven tools for teachers, including one that customizes history activities to individual classroom needs.
