10 Top Click-throughs from 2014

top tenI include lots of links for my readers to sites that will help them integrate technology into education. They cover websites on lesson plans, math, keyboarding, classroom management, cloud computer, digital books, teacher resources, free tech resources, and more. On any given day, a third of visitors to Ask a Tech Teacher click through to one of these resources. Which links my readers select tells me a lot about the type of information they’re looking for.

Here’s a list of the top ten sites visitors selected from my blog:

  1. Structuredlearning.net–lots of teachers are finding books/ebooks here for integrating tech into the classroom. This is where I make mine available.
  2. abcya.com–a popular site with classroom edutainment
  3. itunes.apple.com–last year the top click-through was a website. This year, teachers are looking for apps for iPads.
  4. libraryspot.com–there’s a big uptick in using the internet for research this year over last year
  5. kids.nationalgeographic.com–still more research. I’m seeing a trend
  6. bigbrownbear.co.uk/keyboard/–One of my favorite sites to teach K/1 how to type
  7. DanceMat Typing
  8. Fact Monster–for research
  9. Typing Web
  10. World Almanac for Kids

What do I conclude from this? Where last year, the top sites revolved around a variety of interests, this year it’s keyboarding (4) and research (2). What do you come to Ask a Tech Teacher for ? Vote in my poll:
