Teach Here Map App
http://www.bing.com/maps/explore/#5003/0.60128
Use this map to zoom in on road atlases and pan around
to your nearest teacher prep programs, state teaching
certification offices, school district headquarters, and local
teaching jobs.
Bing launched the Teach Here map application earlier this
autumn in collaboration with the TEACH campaign, an initiative
of the U.S. Department of Education. Data sources include the
Department of Education's National Center for Education
Statistics, CareerBuilder, Wintergreen Orchard House, and
Alloy Education.

PoW taking place: math problem-solving moment of the week
-
"We are grateful to future teachers from Western Oregon
University for providing mentoring to so many submitters for
Math Club Field Trip. We saw a number of different
strategies.... Some solvers, like Paige, acted out the problem
with manipulatives."

Exploring Computational Thinking
http://www.google.com/edu/computational-thinking/
These classroom-ready lessons, worksheets, and examples
emphasize pattern recognition, algorithm design, and other
computational thinking (CT) skills. Created by teachers in
collaboration with software engineers from Google, the
materials cover pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and calculus.
Google invites teachers to adapt these resources for your own
6-12th graders; and provides a Getting Started Guide, FAQ, and
discussion forums for building your own CT curricula.
