Science Geek was a website that was mentioned as a resource for teachers to use for science projects, lesson ideas, and jump start students in being interested in science.
One Word is a website that allows for a jump start brainstorming site where teachers can set up and students can participate in a one-minute blog or sentence splash that students can use as prompts.

Four firefox add-ons instructify.com
Ad block plus--removing ads from pages: this would be beneficial for students to stay on task and not be distracted from all of the ads on the websites they use.
Image Zoom--re-size a picture and zoom in would be beneficial for students who need a little help from glasses or contacts and is easy right on the page to enlarge the image.
Dictionary tool-tip--double click on any word and a dictionary and thesaurus entry will show up. This is very helpful for visual learners who need to see the words in order to understand and
Pronounce--an add in that will pronounce words that the students do not know how to pronounce them. This tool would be extremely beneficial to ESL (my concentrations) classroom when phonemes get misconstrued and language aid is needed. I would love to use this in my classroom.
All of these resources discussed in the podcast were extremely helpful and beneficial for future teachers. I look forward to bookmarking them and saving them to use in my future teaching lesson planning, micro-teaching, and implementing in my future classroom. I enjoyed very much how they brought out the positive and negative aspects of all of these resources and use their prior experiences to aid in our discovery of new applications! :)
