This is a free site where you are able to create and save crossword puzzles for any subject or vocabulary you need to. The site allows for a login so you are able to save the puzzles you create, however they are only saved for a few months. The puzzles can also be saved to your computer. This site has been helpful in all classes when I need a crossword puzzle made for vocabulary, review, or bonus.

This is free site that offers graphic organizers for all areas of education. Vocabulary, process, cause and effect, and sequencing are just a few categories the site offers graphic organizers for. I use this for my students in science, social studies and language arts. I use them for the students to keep information straight but also for the students to study already taught information.

We love lists. They capture ideas, things to do and places to see. And when you share them, they influence the world around you. This is Wunderlist.

This site is available for the desktop or phone. The best description of wunderlist is an in depth to do list. This would be an excellent resource to use in teams such as administration teams, academic departments, committees and even class projects. This resource makes it easy for teachers, administrators or even committees to delineate duties. Some tools made available are the ability to set priorities, live note taking, flagging and due dates.

I am anxious to see how this would actually work with parents and teachers. It looks very promising.

Play games, watch videos, learn about animals, and places, and get fun facts on the National Geographic Kids website. -- There are also resources for younger students. I've found that the younger students are very curious about the "real". National Geographic is a resource that can be trusted.

Something that I've used with my kiddos....Downside, it's not all free. Still worth checking out. Highlights does offer some free things for teachers who participate by sending information home to parents.

There are a lot of "fun" games that promote critical thinking for the early elementary age child. "FREE"

LOVE.. More importantly the kids love the Magic School Bus. Great way to introduce science topics.

Explore a selection of free movies, quizzes, and activities from BrainPOP's suite of educational, animated resources.In my experience the students start out loving, then they find the presentations tedious. However, can be a good way to hook the learner if not overused.
