This site was so cool. I created my own comic story. I was able to play brain buster games I read stories and had stories read to me, and watched videos about how to create a comic.. This site was created by Jim Davis, creator of the comic strip Garfield, in conjunction with Ball State University and PAWS, Inc. It give kids the opportunity to explore, create and connect safely with kids around the world. Jim Davis created this site because he felt there was a need to provide a high-quality, free, and engaging web site that could motivate children to achieve their full potential. The approach is kid-centric and tries to close the achievement gap between what kids seek to do on the Internet and standards-based educational activities. The mission of Professor Garfield.org is encourage children to explore academically sound literacy activities and provide them with tools to express themselves through creative writing prorams. It's an Internet destination that is safe, free and fun! The Professor Garfield and Sparktop sites (both found on this link) provide all kids of ways for kids to shine and showcase their talents and abilities! Students can record their own "talent" for Sparkstage (our American Idol-like competition), arrange music with the awesome music mixer tool, create their own comic strip in the Comis Lab, learn to sculpt, or be taught to draw by professional artists in the Art-Bot section. On Sparktop.org kids safely connect with other kids who knwow what they are going through. They find information about how their brain works and get tips on how to succeed in school and life. And they get to showcase their creativity and be recognized for their strengths. Millions of children from around the world visit the web site every month.

cool interactive guide to careers and colleges. It's obviously geared towards students in Virginia, but their Interest Assessment is one of the most engaging ones I've seen and would be a useful tool for any students exploring potential careers. I like that particular tool so much that I'm adding it to this list.

Number Gossip is an outstanding math tool that I learned about from the excellent blog ZarcoEnglish-Tool of the Day. Number Gossip is a search engine for numbers only. Type in any number and you will learn "everything you wanted to know about it but were afraid to ask". For example, when I search for the number 2 I learn: 2 is the smallest prime number, 2 is the only even prime number, the smallest field has 2 elements, for any polyhedron, 2 is the number of vertices plus the number of faces minus the number of edges. I can also learn the rare properties of two, and the common properties of two. Now that is pretty cool!

Alas, they requires Windows, but they're free and VERY cool. (I'm just not willing to make the sacrifice to run Windows)

Create a "binder" full of bookmarked sites that then show up as tabs and sub-tabs. The binder gets one url to share. Nice way of packaging a collection of sites. Like this one about google: http://livebinders.com/play/play/3803

According to the site - "do with digital information what you do with the papers on your desk - organize them into nice containers - like 3-ring binders on your shelf.:

Your 3 -ring binder on the web. Very cool way to organize your info for the web. Would be interested to see how your teachers use it.

This is very interesting (to me). Paste some code on your page and see a button. But, check out the connection to the Google Map. Very cool. (Shared today on Twitter)
