"Mathigon provides a series of free, interactive, online courses that are designed to complement 6th grade through college level mathematics instruction. The website was founded by Philipp Legner, who studied mathematics at the University of Cambridge and mathematics education at the London School of Economics. Legner, who currently works at Google, wanted to design a website that enabled learners to examine mathematics concepts by actively engaging in problem solving. Each course explains key concepts and skills through a series of short explanations, helpful visualizations, problem sets, and quizzes. Learners receive feedback as they work their way through each course. Visitors to this website can find courses by browsing through the course library, which sorts available courses by grade level (6-9; 10-12; College, Fun and More) and by topic (Geometry; Functions and Equations; Probability and Statistics; Calculus and Mechanics; Applied Mathematics, etc.)."

"The Molecularium seeks to 'excite audiences of all ages to explore and understand the molecular nature of the world around them.' The project's website offers several tools that will be useful to educators. Nanospace, a web-based virtual theme park designed for students between first and eighth grade, utilizes games, activities, and short animations to provide an entertaining learning environment for children to explore the atomic world. In addition, under the Educators tab, teachers will find a Guide to NanoSpace that includes an overview of the games and attractions. Downloadable resources, such as a Teacher's Resource Guide to the Molecularium Project, are also available."

Extensive website from New York DOE with middle level info

Interesting list of ways to evaluate a website

Kathy Schrock has an extensive guide to the best websites.  This particular page summarizes the sites she has recommended in the past. (It started more as daily, and is more like weekly now.) Her entire site is very organized, and has something for every discipline.

Kim Campbell's website. Frequent keynote speaker, middle school educator. Several handouts on her site.

Common Sense has often updated and rearranged their website. This is the most recent place to find the digital citizenship lessons by grade level.

Website from the George Lucas Foundation that really includes much more than technology, but with special emphasis on STEM.

This particular part of the website includes videos that correlate with the exemplars texts from Appendix B in the CCSS

This website looks pretty basic at first, but click on the offerings at the bottom, and you will find many resources, including the "Live Videos" tab. Many of those are Microsoft, but not all.
