This site has some great materials that are organized by grade level.

Video demos and tutorials on how to use Google Apps. *Google Video (video yourself instead of the usual email, record workshops for teachers who can't make it, record messages for students working on differentiated projects, have students use for class projects), make a class website with Google Sites, and see how to use Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and more!

Learn about the chemistry of the cheeseburger, household cleaners, chocolate, biotoxins, changing leaves, and more! Lesson plans from the National Science Teachers Association designed for middle and high school.

Thanks good site, it will help students see chemistry, very nice!!

This was a cool site with nice videos. Chemistry is complex to students with low reading levels, videos are extremely helpful.

One of my all time favorite science websites!

For all you science buffs or science teachers interested in finding a great sight for astronomy, this one has wonderful interactive activities, pictures and videos of the solar system. Check it out.

Unit for teachers to incorporate storytelling in the 21st century. Includes essential questions, standards, and objectives. Culminating project - students create their own digital story.

I watched some of the video presentations -all I can say is "Wow!"

Teachers can build a gallery of their students' art projects.

I love children's museums, and their websites! Even if a trip to the museum is out of the question, websites often offer a virtual field trip from home. Students can explore exhibits, play games, and teachers can print out lesson plans. I do this before every trip to DC. Many of the Smithsonian's even have downloadable apps.

Great for economics teachers but also for critical listening skills. Ever wonder where all the hitchhikers have gone, or why taking a quarterback in the first round of the draft is so important? Freakonomics can tell you.

Great practice for math skills. Keeps a record of student progress for teachers and kids are excited to get the 7 to 8 minutes of practice per day.

Teachers and students can submit a poem using a certain word each month. It allows great feedback and interaction with the children's author.

This site explains and show examples of different acrostic poems. Teachers and students can submit poems as well.

Very cool website with Panoramic, Geocentric, and Heliocentric 360 degree views of the Solar System. You can zoom in to see planets and constellations up close.

This site is designed to support teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to elementary school students. On this site you will find fun and exciting resources to help keep your students motivated to learn, without sacrificing the learning experience. This site is especially great for classrooms with multimedia capabilities. Introduce new vocabulary with the vocabulary viewer, play fun flash games for the classroom, and print your own customized worksheets and flashcards. You can also download PowerPoint presentations and use fun teaching tools.

The mission of The Why Files is to explore the science, math and technology behind the news of the day, and to present those topics in a clear, accessible and accurate manner.The Why Files produces a new story each week, alternating longer features with shorter shorties. The website also posts a series of interactive science animations and the ever-popular "Cool Science Images," a series of Teacher Activity Pages linked to the national science teaching standards, The Weather Guys, and Curiosities. I think this is a cool resource!

This is good for art teachers

Great resource for no cost "free to use" digital images. I've used this site in several projects for the program and while they don't have EVERYTHING, they've got quite a bit.

Use your own technology

This is a great resource for teachers looking for fast assessments (exit slips, tally answers, etc). Free accounts are available and you can see real time results as students answer. It can be set to have one answer per computer/smart phone, or multiple answers per. Great to have parents leave anonymous comments to questions.

Instant audience feedback for use with mobile devices. Free for up to 40 users. Great way to use cell phones in the classroom for polling activities.

This site provides many applications for pictures or video such as edit, download, add, and design. The site also offers lessons for students to acquire skills. This is useful when the student is using the site to design and add three-dimensional effects of the classroom that help students visualize the environment and their effects through the image to develop the sensory side of the student. The student can also download images on the site and engage with other students, teachers, and parents.
