A logophone's dream. While I would love to possess a revered hard copy in my classroom learning center, I would definitely have this site bookmarked.

This link to the Oxford English Dictionary is an invaluable resource for Middle School ELA and Secondary Ed English teachers. I can see it as a frequent "go-to" site for Student Researchers, providing more interesting content than a standard online dictionary. Because the OED is concerned with word origins, I believe it would be helpful in creating bridges with ELL students as well, giving them a chance to see the linguistic contributions their language has made to ours. Check out the link in the lower center column for teachers and students (resources and lesson plans).

This website is an interactive site that allows students to build an outline online - which can then be copied into a Word doc.

This website has TONS of free books that students can read online. I kept trying a bunch to see if I could find a book that wasn't on it...I couldn't! I would suggest using this in your classroom as a tip for students in case they have forgotten their copy of the book at school, etc.
