One thing I often here from educators about using the Web to find useful resources and tools is that weeding through all that’s on the Internet is overwhelming and time-consuming.

Digital Directions, Ed Week’s magazine and Web site devoted to covering educational technology, has been working to find the kinds of Web sites that could help teachers and principals work more effectively. My colleague, Tim Ebner, a freelance writer, is doing the searching and providing an overview of those sites that offer content or services for educators.

Find his summaries at the Go-to-Sites feature.

He’ll be updating his list regularly, so return often to see what he’s found.
