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.

Surf's up!!! Every good surfer is an amateur meteorologist. NOAA is the go to site for tracking tropical storms, low pressures, cold fronts and swells. How is that for hands on science you can use!

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.
