Iowa Common Core Stuff

http://www.teachertube.com/ or http://www.youtube.com/

Lots of tutorials on the 'how-to's' in the classroom - also a great place to watch videos of teachers doing their thing! This is also a good place to find short video/audio clips to integrate into lessons.

Classroom Web Pages

This is my personal classroom web page!

This is a first grade teacher's classroom web page. It is simply amazing.

Another first grade teacher's classroom web page. There are lots of holiday resources as well as academic resources set up in alphabetical order.

This was a class web page at one time, but now the teacher is a stay at home mom. The most beneficial resource, for me, is the literacy center resource tab. I could easily use these strategies in our word study program.

Another idea for a classroom web page. Thematic and organized. Love the layout.
