Top Ed Picks for 2012
Choice 1: e-Mentoring for Student Success -----> http://newteachercenter.org/services/emss
eMSS is a very intricate program designed for new teachers. A well thought out initiative that is now being used world wide for mentoring teachers in math, the sciences, and even special education instruction. eMSS aims to increase retention of teachers in those subject areas because so many schools nationally lack educators in those fields. The program has an online community, offers free services, and provides information for products and resources. The goal of the program is to of course increase teacher retention but also to encourage new teachers, build expertise, and professional development and growth.

Choice 2: Turnitin Leading Plagiarism Checker ----> http://www.turnitin.com/
I was first introduced to turnitin.com my senior year of undergrad at Auburn University. I had no idea why my professor wanted us to submit our papers and other writing assignments to this website. After a little research, it was all too clear. No one wants their work copied or stolen. In addition, doing so is wrong and turnitin matches whatever you submit to other writings in the database to ensure it is indeed YOUR written work. Aside from the obvious plagiarism check the site is known for, it can be used for grading, rubrics, and other resources. They offer resources and products as well as training and support. It is easy to navigate the website and setting up an account is user-friendly and simple.
