New York Times is getting it right. What a great, simple multimedia presentation. 

I love using digital images (or any images for that matter) to get students looking at content differently. This site takes a very simple concept (giving students a visual prompt and asking them to write) and provides great examples of pictures that people can use for this process. For me it is a natural next step to then have students creating pictures that represent a prompt or create pictures to use as prompts, and given the ease in which students can take and share images, it is simple to do in a classroom setting.

NASA generated website with pictures, podcasts, blog posts of current happenings around the world. I explored one example, the recent Tsunami. Great pictures of the island and of showing the wave in the ocean! Also, great story accompanying the pics. I, also, loved the interactive global map with the geolocated pictures. Although I haven't listened to the Science for the Hungry World podcast, I subscribe to several NASA podcasts and think they are great for teaching!

Project Noah is a tool to explore and document wildlife and a platform to harness the power of citizen scientists everywhere.  The app is pretty intuitive and turns a smartphone into a scientific tool that takes advantage of the metadata that the phone can track as well as it's ability to gather digital image, audio, and text data.
