Great reading on an array of key educational issues for the new adminsitration.

Fifteen educational scholars have produced a collection of letters to President-elect Obama. Each letter briefly sets forth an idea or proposal to help create a more productive and equitable educational system. The letters cover the gamut of key policy issues facing the next administration, including reading instruction, No Child Left Behind, the expansion of preschool availability, charter schools, special education, the effects of poverty, and the teaching of English learners. These proposals should be thought of as the tips of empirical icebergs - beneath the letters lies a research base to guide policymaking throughout Obama's time in office.

This would be good to use in the classroom.

Another great one from the Common Craft Show! Easy explanation of the electoral process that could be used in a social studies class.

This is cool however, a word of caution, it will spit out derivatives and usages of words.
