EdShelf..Applications that are Reviewed by Educators to Save you Time!!

One of my go to sites to find great educational resources is EdShelf. I get the data and feedback I need to see if a site is worth my time, my teachers time, and my students time. I have been using EdShelf for about 6 months now and I am very pleased. I also like to give input on the different applications I use as well. Pay it Forward = )

I love that you can build your own shelf of applications for your specific content or topic. This site is well worth your time!!

Here is a great post from EdShelf for today that I wanted to share with you.

From elementary school to college, students of all ages have a growing pool of educational tools available to them. Here are a set of tools you might not be aware of, and have been recommended by students to their teachers.   StudyRoom - Form online study groups to connect with classmates, get help on homework, share notes and get better grades.  ClassOwl - A student planner that also tracks how long assignments should take, based on teacher estimates and classmate feedback. CAST Science Writer - This free website helps students write science or lab reports using scaffolds for each step of the writing process. Easy Blog Jr - An iOS app designed so early childhood to elementary school students have an easy way to publish a online journal. National Geographic World Atlas - Need a handy comprehensive world atlas and encyclopedic info on all the countries of the world? Let Me Google That For You - Perhaps a bit snarky, this website can also be a useful demo of complex Google search queries. Want more? Check out these collections of tools created by members like you. Student Organizers - Curated by high school district librarian Shonda Brisco. Class Activities - Curated by middle school world history teacher Charsta Simmons. Enjoy these great tools for educators! - Mike Lee, Co-founder of edshelf
