With the overwhelming amount of technology that is available and tailored to meet the needs and interests of educators, it is very difficult to select only five for this assignment!  I know that the future will see many others added to this list.  For now, a few that I will be putting into immediate action for my research and growth are the following five:

     This is an online leadership program for teens which promotes leadership opportunities by using media and technology to explore the world outside of the classroom.

     This is a home base for an abundance of information dealing with every aspect of integrating technology into any type of classroom.  Almost anything you would want to know about education and the quickly evolving tools that are available to teachers can be found in a current post or archive.
