Speed reading trainer.

Some really outstanding images here.

Outstanding walk-through of the credit crisis.

Excellent read about a teacher really going paperless.

I just love this blog, but this story seems like it could drive students to create something.

Love the visual.

Your face. Any magazine (almost).

Do kids learn to think by reading great literature, doing difficult math and learning history, philosophy and science? Or can they tackle those subjects on their own if schools simply teach them to problem-solve, communicate, use technology and think creatively?

Take this video, put it into the context of your latest classroom reading, be it novel, short story, poem, what have you, and ask yourself if your students could get into this. It's like video sparknotes, only much much better. Summary isn't always writing...

High-quality stock footage for those of you thinking video projects with students next year.

google bought this

Tons of photo tools.

An easier to read wikipedia.

I think we might want to look at this a little closer, especially for getting the kids involved in making games.
