Because your other posts have been "goodies", I am going to find time to explore this one. Thanks, Pam.

Keep your brain sharp with these online games!

All of your sites are terrific, Pam. Thank you so much.

Seldom do I have the time for subscribing to sites that deal with gaming. I love athletics but other kinds of gaming do not appeal. However, last August, I was hospitalized for a stroke and the site you have posted I have joined. The coonection here is that they posted for "why did you join?" an option: "recovery". there has been significant feedback already from medical people that the brain is "plastic" and can regenerate its cells. The other piece, which your website touches on, is that I can train my brain to connect better. I am very grateful you posted a healing tool. I will update you about that part of its efficacy.

Thousands of Free Lesson Plans and Educational Resources for Teachers ...Thinkfinity is here to help outside the classroom, too... This new Afterschool section provides you with information to help students outside of the classroom.

I will definitely use this site!!! It is already in my favorites at home and I have just sent it to school.

Trish and all, Thinfinity is the primary site we used this summer in the Internet Safety Course. Thinkfinity is a gift from Verizon. Verizon sponsored a contest with netbook winners in our Catholic Schools. Even more important is that Verizon Foundation supports student scholarships. Our local group of Verizon Pioneers gets credit for everyone who links to Thinkfinity through this address: http://www.thinkfinity.org/home.aspx?source=pioneers It is the same as the one you shared but it tracks useage for pioneer credits. Hope lots of folks will add this to school favorites. Carole

This tool removes all "distractions" from a web page for easier reading - and printing. It's something I would always have available as an option, for a wide range of students and adults.

A rich video library from Europe with outstanding footage and music in such diverse fields as agriculture, energy, environment, medicine, health, the pure sciences. Breath-taking, great for streaming, multi-subjects.

Some of the ideas in this site remind me of a project I did a couple of years back with some gifted 7th graders in composition. Basically, they made a portfolio of their own "loop" compositions from the time they spent creating it on Acid 5 (a music loop-editing program) Sonar, and Audacity and from the chatting they did online using Blackboard (web 2.0) as a tool. If I had to do it today, I could probably work it out in large measure using wikispaces.

Contains articles on teaching basic grammar skills with pertinent examples.

useful for grammar meisters

Lessons and activities for many grade levels...coordinates with NCTM standards. It also has the ability to make spinners, graph paper, etc.

Primarily a Movie Making program for Social Studies from the University of Virginia

Is the movie already made so that it can be played back? Or is the movie to be made by the student from the sources provided?When I pressed the Start button, nothing happened, no content. Am I missing something?

This site comes through Thinkfinity and this puts a music site out there for the group to check out. Thinkfinity looks like its rich resources will come in handy. When doing a music search on Thinkfinity, I typed in the key words music education and left all other drop down menus read ALL because it yielded better results for the music teacher as such. In a web 2.0 situation where I am working with a group, I can give multiple assignment choices to provoke diversity and interest.

By the time you check this out, Google will have "Buzz" online. This is Twitter's competition. Google's search engine, "Chrome", has taken some business from from Internet Explorer and Firefox. I think a similar thing will happen with "Buzz" because it is right at hand. I am checking it out today even though twittering as a mode of online communication does not appeal to me.

Links to articles and educational resources

Shakespeare we visited frequently in college with classroom analysis and with dramatic renderings onstage. The characters and lines, for me, do not lose their ring or relevance over time. Does anybody--either in jest (Wierd Al Jankovicz) or seriousness--try to put music to any of Shakespeare's work?

Catholic sites on Morality

KidCase - from the Univeristy of Nebraska Tips and Ideas for Audio & Videocasting

I created a Class Wiki - Two teachers will collaborate; we only see each other one day per week. The students are all under 13. This is just the beginning framework. We'll need to find a way to communicate effectively.

Digital Storyteller is a Web-based tool that offers teachers and students frictionless access to digital images and materials that enable them to construct compelling personal narratives.

I'd like to use this with some advanced music students. If only I had a few more computers.

I have this on my home page when I open by internet. It Catholic news and can take you to various Cathoic Sites.

I have been looking for something like this for awhile
