Three Sites

At http://diannekrause.edublogs.org/
I found a woman named Dianne Krause who is a French teacher in Pennsylvania. She is also a wife and mother. As if this weren't enough, Dianne details her newly emerging responsibilities as a Classrooms for the Future coach. In other words, Dianne is responsible for training her colleagues in the new technology used for teaching. Some examples include wikispaces and voicethread. This site has tons of information for those of us learning how to use technology in our classrooms, as well as great links.

http://theconnectedclassroom.wikispaces.com/
This site is also part of Classrooms for the Future. There is a lot of tech info, as well as the process Upper Merion High School is following as they develop their own projects and become a school of the future. The best thing about this site is that it made me search for the definition of Web 2.0... which, after revisiting the site, I find clearly defined: http://theconnectedclassroom.wikispaces.com/Web20

Finally, I like http://www.globalschoolnet.org/
This isn't the best site as far as ease in navigation, but there are some great links to movies about using global understanding as a tool in teaching communication and, and as they say, fostering collaboration.
