Empressr is a web-based application similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. This application is free and allows its users to create and upload slideshows online.

This series of cartoons, activities, and games teaches kids about Internet safety, cyberbullying, determining if information is valid, and the different types of media available on the Internet. Professor Garfield is a blast from the past for me, but the content is presented in such a way that kids of any age should appreciate it. It appears that this site is geared more for elementary age kids.

This is a general site that discusses bulling with a whole section on cyber bullying. Much of the data is presented in stats which can be helpful when working to prevent bullying.

Webwisekids has resources for teaching Internet safety that are appropriate for middle school to high school age children. Online videos and lesson plans help make it easier to plan lessons to teach about Internet safety. The stories used do not sound contrived or artificial at all, and are definitely worth checking out. The ability to order games to reinforce the concepts taught through the lessons is an added bonus that might make this an attractive option for teaching about safety.

The site has a wide array of information from simulations that teachers/parents can conduct with students/children, a list of dangers on the web, true stories of children and child predators, and a list of ways to prevent online child victimization.

This site offers safety tips through videos and games. Real-life scenarios are presented to reinforce the basic tips being taught. The examples given are realistic, and can get otherwise naive students to be more aware of their activities on the internet. The online videos can be easily incorporated into any classroom at the start of the semester. This is a great resource for any child or teen.

This site offers historical documents and primary sources of information. This is a good reference for students to refer to when they write reports and give class presentations.

This site catalogs groups who are looking for or willing to participate in collaboration or videoconferencing. Offers search tool to help find matches for classroom curriculum. Great possibilities for a teacher looking to find a different way to present materials.

Prezi on how to best use cell phones in the classroom

Glogster is a free service that allows you to create a multimedia poster. Glogs can include images, audio, and video. Direct integration with SchoolTube makes video embedding easy.

Students can use this as an alternative to reports, to give presentations, or to react to literature (among countless other uses).

A valuable teaching tool that integrates diverse core subjects including math, science, history, art, photography, music and more for individual learner portfolios, unique alternative assessments, and differentiated instructional activities.
