Tammy Worcester is the queen of finding useful web sites for teachers and sharing her ideas. I created this blog entry following one of her presentations.

Time saving web sites/applications for teachers:
Google Search Engine
1. Type in equation, Google will find answer (Ex. 100 x 2 (leave spaces between items))
2. Dictionary - Type the word define followed by word you want to define
3. Use the word in between unit and numeral to convert units. (e.g. 100 degrees Fahrenheit in Celsius)
4. Use Advanced Search option to find files by type (e.g. PowerPoint files)
Kathy Schrock has created a graphical tool for finding the right Google app to address a particular level of Bloom's Taxonomy with your students:
Zamzar - Easily convert files from one type to another
http://www.zamzar.com
One of the most useful things about Zamzar is that is converts YouTube videos into files that you can download to your computer. Simply visit YouTube, copy the URL (web address) of the video you would like to save, then browse on over to Zamzar. Select the URL option in Step 1, choose the type of file you would like the final product to be, enter your email address, and wait a few minutes. You will receive a link to download your converted file.
