This is an interesting website which allows children to hear other children their age reading stories, some would be familiar, whilst others might be new. The stories are written by several authors who contribute to the site, and all the videos are screened before they are uploaded. Many of the videos include captions in other languages, so it may be a good tool for language learning, too.

A cool idea for creating virtual flowers. The Black Eyed Peas have created/endorsed a site called Planting My Ideas. You can use music, images, and words to create your own flower, which is then be posted in the site's gallery. You can also post the link on a student or teacher's website/blog, and have students write about it as a language development activity.

This is a great series that students will love which breaks history down into nice little bitse sized chunks you can flesh out in the classroom. I really hope you enjoy going through this with your students. A word of warning is that some of the language and content may not be totally appropriate to younger students.
