Internet Resources for teachers and the classroom!
SurfNetKids - One of the Many Categories - Animal Photography!
SurfNetKids.Com has hundreds and hundreds of categories and resources to choose from! I chose an art & photography category which pulled up a resource that was a link to National Geographic's Website and showed tons of pictures of animals that could be used as a visual aid in a lesson or project for your kiddos!

This website has mapping tools, audio tools, converting tools, graphing tools and many more things that could be useful for students working on projects, trying to grasp concepts and for alternative ways of presenting material!
Technology in the Classroom
This website is chalk full of information on laptops, iPads and anything technologically inclined! There is a wave of schools getting 1:1 iPads at their schools and there are so many interactive softwares, apps, and other programs that many people probably don't know about. This is a good resource for looking into all that is available to make the most of your iPad in education!

As fun and all consuming as pinning food, clothes and DIY home projects are, there are actually a lot of great teacher resources & boards on pinterest! I have found anything from activities, to help with classroom management idea's, to advice for first year teachers and even teacher fashion boards! Take a look around, you will find some pretty neat, and helpful stuff!
