Here I am going to list many of the links that I have found based on the type of tool that they are.
Video Sites
Brightstorm- This site has short instructional videos for math, science, and English. There are also maps that have been created that will allow you to link videos to certain books. These will follow along section by section. This is a high quality site that can also allow the students to sign up for tudors in different areas.
Khan Academy - This site also contain over 3200 videos that include math, science, art history, and finance to name a few subjects. There is also a service that is available to set students up in math classes and test them to see if they have skill gaps and then connect to resources to fill in those gaps. They call the teachers coaches, so you will need to register for the site. Once you do, you will have access to their toolkit. There is a lot of great material here.
Training Site
Atomic Learning - This site is provided free by the Iowa AEAs. You will need to get a password from the media specialist from school.
