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

Good site for Rubrics - with advertising

This is awesome thanks for sharing! Robin

Rubistar is another great rubric site!

Good Site! The content is extensive and detailed. Certainly worth exploring; there seems to be something for everyone.

I enjoy this site as well, I added it to my library so I can retrieve it when I get this Web thing down.

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.

Thank you Paul. Great site. I spent some time looking at the Grade 7-12 area and it's definitely worth exploring in depth.

I agree, the site is comprehensive.

A huge collection of free blank outline printable world maps for every country in the world to print out for educational, school, or classroom use.

Hello Ellen, This picking the correct Tab words is really tricky. I did a search, within this group, looking for this site. I typed in map and it didn't come up; I had to type in maps. I have to remember to think like a user. Great site!

Lists resources and organizations for teachers and students to address issues of racism.

Thanks for this site. I'm going to send it to some colleagues. We going to try an create a Ning on diversity and multiculturalism. They gave a presentation on the topic at a conference and they want to stay in touch with the participants. This should be a good resource.

I could use something like this for my students to post a podcast place of their compositions.

Why does iPhone have all the good apps? Must I give up my Blackberry?

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

This Digital Literacy Toolkit began with the premise that multimedia authoring, which is happening with the extensive use of PowerPoint in classrooms, must be taught as a skill, just as traditional text-based writing is taught. While teachers and students have become familiar with the technical skills required to use images in multimedia productions, they lack a critical language to determine whether an image or a sound is used appropriately.

This is a site that needs to be explored! Lots of possibilities.

Some of these are better than others, but it is a decen resource

HI Pam, I like it! I found one on Verbals that I plan to use. Thanks, Robin

Thanks Paul, I'll have to do some exploring - and decide about WordPress. I read a comparison review of Blogger and WordPress. If someone is serious about blogging as a major tool in their repertoire, then it seems that WordPress is the clear winner.

Outstanding page of links

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.

making tests on google

Thank you Sister. I can't wait to try this. I'll look at the Home site as well. Looks like there might be other useful tools.

Thanks Sister! I hope you will stay on this even though you will be away from us physically. Travel Mercies to you and all tomorrow. I am looking forward to really delving into the books we were given at the conference. Take care.

Tons of videos!

I went to this website and joined the wiki because they have topics welike and relevant videos. Thank you.

Don't miss out on these opportunities to enhance a child's education while encouraging a love of reading with these fantastic book sites.

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?

I think this is a great source for kids who do not like to read, which there are many.

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

eduweb is an award-winning developer of digital learning games and multimedia interactives. We create immersive, interactive, and in-depth adventures about art, science, history and technology.

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