Yahoo! for Teachers (incoming email with more details and permission to redistribute to teachers).

Once you get “in” you will then need to register and sign in with your own Yahoo account. Still need to check this out a bit as I just received my ID and password today. Yahoo has just launched Yahoo! for Teachers in beta. And, of course, true to my twitter community, I tweeted the following to the edublogosphere twitterverse:

Features include: projects, documents, community, portfolios, search & explore, a special tool called “Gobbler” that lets you clip and save pieces of Web sites and such. Yahoo has also launched a companion blog which features contributing stories from teachers, such as Mr. Mayo’s coverage on Darfur. There is also a help page to help you get acquainted with features.

“We look forward to hearing what you think about the new Yahoo! for Teachers and also invite you to join our Yahoo! For Teachers Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yteachers_community/.”
