Here is a list of the links I constantly return to as resources for my high school classroom. Perhaps they will be useful in your classroom, too! Please share any sites you love and use for teaching.
Prezi
This presentation tool is internet-based (and accessible from any computer with internet), but can be downloaded to use offline later. You can easily and quickly add images and video directly into the presentation from the internet. There are new pre-created formats that you can choose from, or you can start from scratch. You must sign up to save your presentations. You can also access presentations that have already been created.

Remind101
Sign up to use this simple and free texting system to help your kids remember homework assignments. You can also loop parents into the system so they can help support their students. When you sign up, you can print a poster with instructions for students and parents to sign up with their phones. As a teacher, you can send messages from a computer or from an app on your phone.

Online Stopwatch
It's exactly what it sounds like - a stopwatch that is internet-based. You can set whatever time countdown or you can time how long something takes. It's useful to keep students on task.

Classroom Music Suggestions (by Mr. Vasicek)
There are some useful classroom music selections broken down by use, such as entrance songs, writing time, and timed transitions. The links are mostly connected to YouTube, so free!

Slideshare
Here are some PowerPoint presentations available for free at your fingertips. Type in a topic you want to teach, such as allusion, and you will find multiple options available for download. You do need to join as a member to download the PowerPoints, or you could sign in through LinkedIn.

Dropbox
Yes, it's been around for a while, but it really is useful. I can access my uploaded files from any computer with internet connection. The English department at my school uses it as a way to share lesson plans and collected data. I've started using it to do work from home and then retrieve again at work. You will need to create an account to upload and access your files.
