On CNN today, I did my last installment of a month-long series of back to school tech segments. It’s been a great 4 weeks sharing all types of tips, services and advice on how technology can help parents, students and teachers! Today I shared tips on:

1. Homework help sites like Tutor.com – an online tutoring company that offers tutoring 24/7 to students, no appointments and it’s highly interactive with a shared whiteboard, text and voice chat, ability to upload projects and problems etc…I have met the CEO and some of the other staff at tutor.com and feel absolutely comfortable highly recommending them as a source of help!

I also gave a quick shout outs to:

FreeTech4Teachers.com – this is the BEST site hands-down for teachers needing to find FREE tools and services they can implement in the classroom. The chief blogger/owner of the site is Richard Byrne, he’s an awesome person that really cares about helping teachers succeed with free, open-source and other tech tools. I am a fan of his work and what he stands for! If you are a teacher you’ll love this site, if you are a parent or student who ended up reading this post – please make sure you tell your teachers about the site–they are cash-strapped and need all the help they can obtain!

DimensionU.com – Suite of Educational Based Games that embed over 400 math and literacy skills in a multitude of 3D, interactive formats. I know the founder Ntiedo Etuk and he is serious about helping kids learn through the power of interactive gaming.  This is a great tool for home and the classroom.
