This website demonstrates how one Canadian high school science teacher has organized her website (thanks to her IT husband...) as a functioning platform for her students to complete DI assignments and interact with one another.

While this particular teacher's website makes my head spin, it does provide an idea of how I can make my own School World site more interactive as well as design my own site as a platform for students to refer to throughout a unit.

A list of links that might prove to be helpful in your planning a 21st Century lesson/unit.

All of the images are there for you to search, save a collection, read brief descriptions about each image, and use your collection to create a movie. Great if you teach social studies, have students read historical fiction or teach science history.

Online photo editing---easy and fun.

Make Flash Games with this site for free. Great for those students who love a a good game and a challenge.
