StoryJumper: publish your own children's book.

20 +children's stories read by actors (American Screen Actors Guild). Books include Stella Luna, Knots on a Counting Rope, Polar Express

This is not a truely interactive site, but the quality is high.

While these stories are not interactive, I listened to White Socks Only and it is a marvelous story which lends itself to predicting and cultural tolerances and racism. What kids don't like to have a story read to them with a different voice than their teacher's. Thanks Jan.

A great resource from the Screen Actors Guild. Good quality literature read aloud by actors, complete with sound, captions, and pictures, so students can read along!! Via Melanie!!

Hi Michelle and Melanie. Book Pals Online is a great resoource. Thank you! Pat

Great collection of essays from leaders in the field relating to arguments for/against Facebook, Google, Texting, and the Age of Social Media

I used this in grade 3-6 classes to show concept of equal sign and how to balance equations.

This looks fantastic! Good first day back kinda activity!! "Equal Schmequal" sounds like a great resource too!

Yes, Alissa the lesson plan that Michelle is referring to is fanatastic and kids of all ages seem to grasp this concept pretty quickly. In fact my 6 year old son intuitively got it before my 10 year old.

A variety of topics...online books

Carol Walters hooked me on the website. Once there you can sign up for the "Writing Lesson of the Month Network & Ning" I have received two monthly emails writing lessons and it so far I think it is fantastic. It is based on the 6 traits of writing and uses picture books as the backbone of the lesson. Also student examples are provided and requested, so you can send your students' examples. I have only browsed the lessons so far and would love to try some out.
