Can I really only have one?!

If I must - then WordPress because I can use my blogs to link to all the other websites I love!

Thanks for sharing. I am going to use this space to teach a PD at the end of June "Creating a PLN" for beginners.

That sounds like a good plan Jo Beth.

Can I cheat now and give you lots of favourites?!
I mentioned WordPress:

Digital Tools - Educators

Digital Tools - Students

I have been found some great resources through educators on Twitter.

My Google reader account is my most valuable. It links me to so many valuable resources. Every time i open i learn something new and gather a new instructional resource.

I would have to say I agree. I have to sometimes avoid "checking in" because I know I might get lost and start clicking through and clicking through. Google reader is like a curated web tool- curated by ME!

I would have to say my class Moodle site. Everything in my 8th grade English class resides there and is available as a 24/7, ubiquitous learning resource.

www.khanacademy.org

How could it not be useful to a math teacher?

One specific way that I use it: Assuming your students have internet access at home, you can assign the viewing of instructional videos for homework, and monitor the exercises in school (again assuming that you have internet access in school). The homework completion is much closer to 100% that way, it seems more efficient all around.
