This site looks like fun!

If taking notes isn't quite your style, you can import conversations, interviews, lectures, or any other voice recording into free service VoiceBase, which will transcribe them and make them searchable. VoiceBase acts as your personal and public voice recording database. No matter what your recordings-phone conversations, interviews, or presentations-you can import them into VoiceBase and it will transcribe them for you. Once it's done, you can edit the transcription manually for any errors. You can then search the database (either limited to your own recordings, or including public content) for words within the transcriptions. It will highlight your search terms so you can go straight to the part of the recording or transcription that you need-perfect for condensing and extracting quotes from an interview, or for finding important points in a lecture. Right now, you get two hours of storage for free, but you can upgrade to more for a small fee. Hit the link to check it out. If you're an Evernote user, be sure to check out similar service Voice2Note for Evernote integration, too.

this might be useful for special ed students.

very simple site for text conversion to speech.

Great list of search engines for students. Also good for elementary

Searchy Pants is a simple safe-search tool for young people. The site is clean and easy to use. What makes Searchy Pants stand out is that they allow teachers to create their own Safe Search website. Users can choose the background picture, colors, and then share a custom URL to that particular site. This is great for individual classrooms, schools, and districts.

Love the name of this search engine!

This site looks like lots of fun! Might be too "young" for high school but do check it out anyway, students can record their own stories and there are also stories in Spanish.

lesson plan for word processing but also to hook students on the idea that they can learn. Worth a try I think for any class to try.

Interesting idea for an intro lesson. Might be fun to try. Very detailed lesson plan description given.

Reading help site. Looks like it would be good for ELL's also.

This site looks like it could be helpful for reading strategies.

generates a variety of background noises. This might be a great tool to share with students in your classroom. (Perhaps you can play some white noise from the site during independent work time.) The site can even generate oscillating noise and it also has a sleep timer.

Many good links to information on learning disibilities of all kinds from cybraryman.

Fun math games.

Check out this math site. It looks like it could be a really fun way to learn math.

Interesting ideas for using flickr in the classroom.

Some good ideas for using a photo program like flickr in the classroom. Many students may enjoy working with photos rather than with words.
