This is a great digital storytelling tool that now features characters and sets for political satire. It's a great way for students to create and publish stories.

A really interesting article. MUST READ. Clearly, not the definitive piece on this question. More research in both areas. Interesting about IQs increasing since 1900, but then very interesting that assessments that measure creativity show a substantial decline over the past 20 years.

This site has more resources than just Internet Safety or Cyber Bullying. The parent section is an excellent reference, as are the "homework helpers." To find the latter, search for "homework" in the search area, as they are not readily available. The weekly e-Newsletter is also a great resource, particularly for the parents and teachers of elementary/middle school aged students.

The data sets are fantastic for teaching about the analysis of real-world data sets. Also good for explaining the pitfalls of data visualization. I've used this with students as young as 8th grade and also incorporated the works of Edward Tufte with it (http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/).
