Whoa!  More digital storytelling tools.  Cool beans.  

Civil War webquest

Jamestown Webquest

Webquest about the Earth Sun and Moon.

Five Senses. Relates to Kindergarten SOL. Lengthy link pages, but nice flow of readings to a journal entry to an online quiz.

States of Matter. Basic but includes a video, interesting changing states of matter game, a song, and a journal for students to print out and complete. Journal is basic but could glean much information about what the students learned from the WebQuest.

Great for Fire Safety week this week for primary students. Especially Kindergarten. Includes links to games, interactive worksheets, and videos! Includes various media ideas.

For second grade on Ancient China. Students use links to learn about cultural aspects and then develop a time capsule, making items based on the link's articles. Cool art-related/hands-on idea. Process section a bit hard to figure out at first, links are in small font.

States for preschool children, but relates to Kindergarten Social Studies SOL. Love the website links to online books that have sound bites for children who have trouble reading. Quizzes at end of books to use for assessment purposes.

Super useful tool for anyone who wants to merge pdfs but doesn't want to download software.

AMAZING SITE.  You can search by leveled books (including Fountas and Pinnell leveling system -- "guided reading" -- the DRA, etc.) AND you can search for books that are similar to other books your students may have read and enjoyed, and vary the difficulty level accordingly.

Fascinating article, with even more fascinating comments at the bottom.  It certainly got lots of people to chime in on the debate about math.

Interesting blog on ways to keep students involved with math; the author reflects a lot of what we've been learning in math class.
