Okay, I started the list below in order to support some teachers as they seek their NETS-T Certification but I decided the list was so helpful that it might be good to post it here as well. I will keep adding to it as I get new ideas or as new resources come up. Please add a comment if you know of other excellent resources to suggest to teachers seeking to meet their NETS-T Certification. This list is specifically aimed to help:

These online courses are offered to ACPS teachers for only
$50. The run a fall, spring and summer session of classes. Feedback from
teachers that have taken these is very postitive.

excellent online learning opportunities.

I am fascinated by this alternative learning system. You can
volunteer to contribute to the learning or be a learner or both. There are
challenges set up as well as badges that can be earned. I haven’t explored it
too deeply yet, but it is on the to-do list!
