Intergrating Technology

Integrating Technology in the Classroom

I found an amazing map on e-learning that contained many technology resources for learning. I checked each one and made a map containing the ones that free, accessible at school and useful in our classrooms. I also added some "kid-friendly" sites and other sites that I thought were useful.

I will be adding sites as I find them so if you are interested, bookmark this site and check back periodically.

I hope these sites are as useful to you as they have been for me!
