This site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box. What items, for example, would you put in a box to describe your life; the life of a Victorian Servant or Roman soldier; or to show that slavery was wrong and unnecessary? You can display anything from a text file to a movie.

This is a really good site that I found while reading "When Kids Can't read" by Kylene Beers. It has good author biographies as well as books for teens, obviously. Click on the 'links' tab and there are some other really neat things. the address is really authors4teens.com, the books4teens goes to a different page. Sorry.

this is the best overview of social bookmarking that I have yet seen - comprehensive but readable. Meant for students it could easily be used with teachers and would make an excellent professional development experience. It provides a well defined way in which researchers can effectively use social bookmarking and annotation by taking on specific roles.
