GoogleLitTrips, a website that creates google "trips" for books where the characters travel or experience different places. Create your own to help students understand the geography of an area

This is so COOL!!! I need to pick your brain about this one. Is it limited to just the books they have on the site?

scot, you can use google earth to make a "lit trip" for any book - or you can use (and edit) ones that people have uploaded to the site. "lit trips" are google earth "tours". i've proposed that gr 4 use a "tour" when they do their hot air balloon project.

interesting news aggregator. can select categories (world, national, sports, ...) and customize further.

Excellent resource! For over 25 years The Efficacy Institute has been dedicated to the Mission of getting all children to proficiency or higher. Our work is grounded in the constructive belief that intellectual capacity is neither fixed nor given; rather, it can be built - to high levels - through the sustained application of effective effort at challenging tasks.

pretty good introductory Prezi on Diigo for Education

this might be a useful resource for k's lsf grant for audiobooks.

This is from Acton Public. A good reference for parents. These lists have been developed for two reasons: for parents who have requested help in finding books at their child's reading level. for teachers who have requested a leveled book list or have asked for help in their effort to build a leveled library in their classrooms. I have tried to keep the lists to books that may be available at the local library or at a book store.

list of all the edupad apps that we'll be getting free since i provided feedback to the developers during beta testing. yeah!

Amazing interactive tool to explore relative sizes of things from smaller than microscopic to the entire universe. Created by Cary Huang, a 14-year-old ninth grader from Moraga, California, with technical help from his twin brother Michael. You may have to wait a bit while it loads. Be sure to scroll both to the left and right. You can turn off the music by clicking the note icon.

This looks to have great potential!

We have ActivInspire?? I love Promethean! I don't seem to have AI on mine though..

Trica it a bit hidden on mine - Open your applications - find the promethean folder - then click on the activesowftware inspire folder - in that folder the program is called "inspire" click to open. Then accept the license and click for personal use. Then you should be all set - or a least that is where it was on mine ;)
