K-12 Integrated Activities from Baltimore County Public Schools - They tend to be software specific, e.g., at the Elementary School level, they use Kidspiration and Pixie quite a bit
Clickable Map Quizzes - just click on the map to answer the questions. Great georgraphy practice for students in elementary school, middle school, high school, colleges and universities.
Among other things, this web site offers podcasts of their exhibits. Some are for young children, middle school children, or teens. You can "subscribe" and/or embed them in your own wiki!!
Wow! This site just illustrates all that is available for free. Take a little time and plan a lesson around one of these books. But make no mistake you have to limit your resource and try out everything first. But hey, that is true of all good teaching, don't you think?
Portaportal is a web based bookmarking utility that lets you store links to your favorite websites online. Now your bookmarks are no longer limited to any one machine.
Hello Robin, I like almost all your suggestions, but not this one. I found the Quick Start Window a bit clunky. Also, having to add a Name and Web Address for each new site seemed cumbersome.
I really like having the Diigo Bookmark on my Toolbar. I might have pursued Porta Portal further if it had imported all my bookmarks from delicious, Diigo, Firefox Bookmarks and IE Bookmarks - with existing folders and categories - but these are comments I should make to them. In any case, keep your suggestions coming!
Hi Theodore,
Yes, it does take an extra step. However, when I am at school and I don't have all my favorites in front of me or on my tool bar, it is a quick easy way to find them. Also, the kids can be at their friend's house and want to show them a site and instead of possibly going to dangerous territory they have the exact link in their portaportal. I see your point, too, though. Thanks for commenting.
Robin
