Finding a Familiar Friend in the 21st Century

While searching for a website to address the weakness in technology on my campus, I came upon a website titled "Strategies and Professional Development". The web address is http://teacher.scholastic.com/teachingstrategies/. I have use Scholastic in my classroom forever, but as I was evaluating this page, I noticed Scholastic has changed with the times and I think for the better.
The page format is well organized and appealing to the eye. Beginning at the top, there are links for teachers, parents, kids and more. Each link is audience appropriate. As you click on the links the pages load quickly. The site first caught my eye with a video of a teaching strategy with links to other works to support the video. My interest continued as I scrolled down the page viewing sections for strategies for skills, classroom management, integrating technology, scholastic professional and educator communities.
Many items attracted my attention that would be very useful in the classroom for the 21st Century learner including blogging. The educator community section brought reliability and validity to the strategies where you can meet the experts (teacher advisors) from their blogs along with new research and new ideas.
The only negative that I saw was the amount of useful information. One might get bog down with where to start. The website is a wonderful use of technology for online learning for professionals. I will share the Scholastic website and the online learning in my committee meetings with fellow educators and in my personal classroom at school.
