PROBLEM-ATTIC
Problem-Attic (http://www.problem-attic.com/) is a very good source for EOG level questions from several states and other resources. This is useful for the Core subject teachers. The questions can be found across the grade levels and the choice between 8 formats (powerpoint style/ test/ weekly calendar/Monthly Calendar...etc) makes it a very attractive resource. Great website!
PADLET |
PREZI |
The easiest way to create and collaborate in the world. Think of Padlet as a wall where you can express your thoughts on a common topic. Collect your ideas through text, link, images, videos, bookmarks and more. Share your Padlet with as many or with as little people as you wish and you control how you want your invites to contribute to your Padlet. Padlet lets you customize the look of your wall and the style of your content placement. Padlet is FREE to use. However, there are certain features that do require a membership.

Another way to create presentations instead of Powerpoint. Using your Prezi Dashboard, you can view all of the Prezis you have created.
