Place to teach, I think it is like elluminate... but has a twist on it.

This site is an experiment in teaching great literature in a very different way. Using Google Earth, students discover where in the world the greatest road trip stories of all time took place... and so much more!

How often have you heard students say, 'I can't think of anything to write'? The fact is, we can assign incredibly specific, prescriptive prompts, but what does that teach students about creativity?This is where Interactive Writing Tools come in. As I teacher, I have found that these low tech, Internet-based writing tools inspire the most reluctant writers while enabling the most gifted writers to really stretch their imaginations. More importantly, these writing sites will help you to build students' critical thinking skills which are necessary for effective writing.Every site featured here is student friendly, easy to navigate, and absolutely free! I've limited the suggestions to those I've personally used, but I absolutely welcome recommendations for others. Enjoy these tools, and let me know how you've used them!

Thousands of articles, videos, slide shows, expert interviews, blog entries, and other resources highlight success stories in K-12 education.

Great scenarios for learning about what it is like to teach online in K-12.

I think it would be great if the school encouraged non traditional media skills. Most kids have a cell phone that will create short videos, or a digital camera that will film short films. How about teaching students how to upload these into a free program that will allow them to make a movie to tell a story. We could get some really cool projects that would allow students to have a lot of fun. If they have to write out the shot list and think out their movie before they make it, there can be some really great critical thinking they can display. Id like to see the students have to submit the work they put into the film BEFORE they make the film and then turn in the film.
