EduTecher (http://edutecher.net) is a wonderful teacher resource free site and the best part is that it doesn’t contain any ads! The site contains more than 1,000 links, specially attracting teachers, but also serving as a source for students and parents. Each link allows the users to post feedback and they are notified as soon as there is a response.
Users are also encouraged to post web tools, videos and links. They can comment and receive comments on their material. Adam Bellow is the creator of EduTeacher and his links cater to teachers of all levels. EduTecherTV is an incredible tool with tons of webisodes illustrating tutorials and learning materials for many of the Web 2.0 tools teachers implement into the classroom.
EduTeacher is also available as an IPhone application. It is simple and user friendly so teachers can access it even in the classroom. EduTeacher is easy to navigate through and Bellow created a subjects tab so that teachers can attain information they are looking for quickly.
