One great find from ISTE 2013 was the website Share My Lesson. Share My Lesson is an extensive database containing over 265,000 resources and over 300,000 members. Teachers can not only search and share lessons, but also follow people whose lessons they really like. Lessons are searchable by grade, subject, or topic and linked to the Common Core Standards. Searches and resources can be saved to one's account for later reference. My quick searches of "Internet Safety" and "Scary Story Writing" yielded some impressive resources that included not just lesson plans, but weblinks and student handouts as well. This is a site worth bookmarking and using on a regular basis for its simplicity and the extensive collection of resources available. Why reinvent the wheel when there are others out there who have done it already and have freely shared what has worked for them? You may be inspired to share your great ideas as well and connect with a large network of educators just waiting to learn from you.
