Seems to be a well-vetted group of links to typing games. I'll post the collection on the website, but I'd still like us to have a short list of games that we think are good for our kids (i.e. not too visually stimulating, letters big enough on the screen so that most kids can see them, etc)

A collection of typing games online (and some to download, but those are in a separate section). Maintained by a Multimedia "Outreach Educator" Austin Children's Museum

Description of the Math Open Reference project. An online interactive Math textbook

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.

A very cool web-based application that allows you to create interactive posters to highlight photos, written work, websites, etc. Could be a great way for students to create a project for any subject.

A vocabulary quiz with a global conscience. Words get harder or easier depending on whether you get the answer right or wrong. For each correct answer, freerice.com donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program. Kids can have words read to them. Teachers should definitely check out the options page to make the best use of this site with kids.

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.

Online dictionary of math terms with flash illustrations and examples of each one.  Much more engaging than flash cards.

These activities run online in flash.  They are mostly brief explanations of a concept with an interactive exploratory component to illustrate.  Interface is engaging, if a bit busy.  An engaging way for kids to review math concepts K-6.

Simple game to download.  Some activities involve typing letters and other activities involve typing words.
