At St. Hilda’s and St. Hugh’s today, I’m talking with an extraordinary group of teachers at a NYSAIS workshop. The topic is using technology in teaching. We’re going to build a list of resources we’ve talked about today for posterity. Who’s first?
A meta resource for technology and education, including sharing of information and tools and the like

– Rojo.com
Another RSS aggregator
A tagging service and search engine
– Moodle
A course management system or content management system, which is open source
A virtual world in which some classes are taught

– JotSpot
Another wiki service
A means of finding works online that you can re-use in the classroom, or that your students could use
A new blog on tech and teaching
