 * < Cheryl/eTech ||< Ohio 21st Century Partnership Website [|http://21stcenturyskillsohio.org] || This is a resource which brings a “one-stop shop” focused on infusing 21st Century Skills into education to Ohio. || Ohio has made a commitment to building world class skills and knowledge in our educational system. Educators, administrators, students, parents, business and civic leaders and policymakers are now collaborating to re-vamp historical school designs and traditional classroom learning environments, re-tool academic content standards and assessment tools. ||
 * Vickie || toondoo.com || Toondoo allowed the students to present a summary of a chapter in a different format. || While this is not an actual website, it allows students to use different modalities to present the knowledge they have gained. ||
 * Vickie || MS Math Ipad apps || MS Math use the same content but provided different levels of difficulty || This was great for differentiation because all students could work on the same content standard but at varying levels. ||
 * Vickie || Show Me Ipad apps || This allows students to use the Ipad as if it were a white board. || The novelty of some technologies intrigues the students. Students having the ability to "write on" the Ipad keeps them better focused. ||
 * Jason || youtube.com/teachertube.com || I like this because I can see how other people may teach or present material that I am using. || This allows educators and non-educators to share their ideas for others to use or add to. ||
 * Jason ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Chris || mathworld.wolfram.com || This is useful when you can't determine the solution to a problem or desire a new way to teach a topic. || Many ideas and suggestions given involve the use of 21st century tools ||
 * Chris || mathxl.com || Need resources to challenge advanced students || New methods of teaching are shareable. We must keep current and this is one way to communicate to others. ||
 * Jason || 4teachers.org || Many different resources for teachers || It will allow you to see what other educators are doing as well as formats such as rubistar which aides in making rubrics. ||
 * Rich || go2web20 || Many different resources for teachers to use. || This website has a lot of online tools and applications that teachers can use. ||
