Sparticl is a new site I just found out about that is excellent for finding STEM based resources. There are over 2500 curated resources on a wide variety of subjects. Best of all a user can login and curate their own lists of resources and even vote/comment on them.
OpenEd is a fantastic site/catalog for finding educational resources such as educational games, links, and videos. What makes OpenEd so great is that a user can search for resources by Common Standard or by keyword. Also, each resource is rated on a 5 star scale.
Medium is a interesting new site designed to let users share their thoughts in a stunning way. I like to think of Medium as a social network that contains a bunch of visual blogs that users can search through. There are lots of educational possibilities too such as: digital storytelling, collaborative writing, and more.
9Slides one of the best sites/apps around for "flipping a classroom" is now available for the Windows App store!!! This is a excellent educational tool for adding audio/video narration to a presentation (PDF, Keynote, PPT) Some of the ways educators are using this in the classroom is for: guided learning, Pecha Kucha style presentations, and even flipping a classroom.
BaiBoard is a excellent free iPad app that turns your iPad into an interactive collaborative whiteboard. This is a great way for educators or students to share content w/ others through their iPad via the web. Also, BB lets users annotate on PDFs as well as e-sign documents.
Endless Reader is a fun iOS app for beginner readers working on sight words. This interactive app focuses on the most commonly used sight words and schools and helps reinforce them through the use of animations, puzzles, and sentences.
