Shelfari is a website devoted to books! Basically an online book club, the site allows users to build a bookshelf of books (generally books they are reading or have read) and share their thoughts on those books with other readers. There are online discussions of books, summaries of books, and you can order books directly from Amazon via the website. Sharing what everyone is reading is a great way to get students, or anyone, interested in reading new books and talking about what they have read.

Paul Hami has an extensive and well annotated list of online resources - some downloadable, some online interactives, all free.  His focus is special ed, but ranges from low-incidence to high-incidence.  His blog is well organized, so you can just go there, click on the topic you are interested in, and find all sorts of resources.  His explanations and screen shots give you ample information to know whether the resource is suited to your needs before you click on it.
