If you love music, you might be interested in Rolling Stone’s daily download. A new song every day. Music is such a wonderful thing in my own life.

Nothing like a great song, wind in your hair, and

driving out to who knows where! ;-)

IF you have free content for teachers with no log in required to access the resources, you should consider becoming a tes “content partner.” It is a great way to share your resources with the world of teaching. They can help you by getting feedback from the teachers and they can give you stats on how your resources are doing. It can help you drive traffic back to your site. Just be aware that quite a few US-based teacher resource providers are starting to join the TES network as they expand.

We need some alternatives to Khan Academy for many reasons. Here are some free tutorials for teachers and students on just about every kind of math imaginable.

Brainpop is a partner with TES out of the UK (that I write about all the time) here are some resources from them linked from the website.  IF you love brainpop, you’ll want to go here to access and share the free resources. The two most popular right now are a movie/ quiz/ and activity about smoking and another one on probability. They also have some bullying resources that you may want to integrate.

This tool helps you evaluate Open education tools to see how they align to Common Core  state standards. By using this rubric, you can demonstrate how resources that are free can be integrated into your curriculum. There are 7 of the 8 already created. IF you want to save money while you align standards you must share this with your curriculum directors and administrators. Use this as an opportunity to increase quality AND save money (that is a win for everyone.)

Free open textbooks that are peer reviewed to be of higher calibre. Free online and low-cost in print. If you’re looking at options, this is where you should go (if you’re curriculum director or administrator.) Start here for free open textbooks.
