Pinterest is a new favorite of many teachers. There are lots of ideas available to make learning fun. I would use some of the hands on ideas in this sight.
This site is like a virtual bulletin board. It allows for information sharing for a group project. I think some collaborative activities could be created. I do think this site would need a moderator.

This is a scholastic sponsored site. It has a variety of topics and ideas. I could use this in my classroom to either use the entire lesson or just pull ideas to elaborate on.
this encourages an interactive learning environment. Students can get on thier devices in class. They use within the class and questions can be added in any topic and students gett o answer through their device and then the results show up on the board. This is a fun way to interactively use technology in my class.
this is a great educational site. I would use it for the playground section as it is a favorite of my daughter and she showed me some fun games to play on it, and I liked the reading portion with the mad libs fill ins and games. Mad libs were a favorite of mine as a child and I'm sure kids will have fun creating funny stories.
This site combines physical education with the science of sports! It explains some fun ideas like how to find a sweet spot on the bat in baseball and how to throw a curve-ball. It tells about the skill and explains the science behind it. I think this would be fun to try out with students.
This offers a lot of options for health and physical education on this site. It even had a lesson on dental care. Students need to know how to take care of their bodies and overall health I think I would be able to use this site to teach students about taking care of themselves. It would give me ideas that I may not even think of on my own.
This site offers a variety of hands on experiments you can explore and create with studetns.

This website has fun songs to help students learn about biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, and there are even more. I think a catchy song helps students remember information more effectively than just reading it.
This site has raps to go along with specific historical events. It requires a membership to use. It allows for a free 90 trial for teachers. Some schools may already have a membership, however it has so many great ideas and sites I'm sure it your school would see the value in the membership. If nothing else you could plan to use it in one specific semester and use the free trial and have a different teacher do the same thing the following year and so on.

This is a site that has a variety of topics. I chose addition, but it has a link for a variety of types of math. I like that the games have some social studies, and other topics embedded into the math lessons.
I like the Khan Academy because it says it is for kindergarten to Calculus. I used it to help study for the math portion of my CAAP. I like that it is so versatile and can grow with the student.
