Hey, feel free to share your favorite finds of the week using the comment link found at the bottom of this post. Once again, in no particular order, I have listed my favorite top 10 sites of the week below…

1. Wordsift – this Web 2.0 visual thesaurus was Twittered about and blogged about on a couple of my favorite blogs…Designs for Learning and Talking SmartBoards & Much More. You’ll understand why the resource has been so popular once you play with it a while! It’s a great resource to help students understand the connection between words and concepts.
2. Blabberize.com – this is a very popular bookmark on delicious…I’m sure the talking llama has been a large part of the draw…check out some of the other posted samples as well. The site is just plain fun…try it out and share your results with us!
3. Great Photo Quotes about Education and Change
4. Childnet International – Cyber Bullying Video – very powerful awareness video about a very serious topic…
Childnet International – Cyber Bullying
5. Cut Loose and Make a Virtual Quilt – you’ll have to settle for warming your heart…this interactive quilt making project will never keep you warm, but it sure is fun!
6. Lost Generation – a video created for the AARP U@50 video contest that placed second
   Lost Generation
7. 50+ Google and Yahoo Search Shortcuts Cheat Sheet (.doc)- The Search Engine Journal posted this terrific shortcut sheet…a great resource for workshops!
8. Teach with Picture Books – a new blog I discovered and enjoyed reading through
9. Pecha Kucha – a presentation format I just learned about…each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show. It sounds like an interesting concept for faculty meeting show and tell opportunities or student presentations…anyway I found it intriguing.
10. Toy Theater – I believe this was another Diana Dell find…interactive games and activities for younger students (Math, Art, Reading, Music, Puzzles, Playsets, and Games). Great resources that could be used for computer lesson fillers in the lower grades.

I hope you enjoy my favorite finds of the week. By the way, did you notice the Google language conversion tool I found and included on my blog sidebar? I thought the concept was cool, but would love to know if it actually works since I am not versed in foreign languages. Have a nice weekend!
