Website aimed more at older students. Lots of good information dealing with the real problems with safety with all technology not just internet.

Barrier -free Education is a web site dedicated to the quality education to students with disabilities. It is a work in progress with little information to offer.

Because it is funded by an NSF grant, I look forward to returning to the site to see progress on this topic.

This site was loaded with stuff for all levels Pre K - 12. The site featured tabs at the top of the page as well as the side for easy clicking. With tools focusing on Assessments, Tech Tutorials, K-12 Links and Daily Dose of the Web, there were a ton of references and tools for all teachers. You can also sign up for their newsletter on this site. The most appealing thing to me was the simple nature of the site, very easy to navigate. There were some ads, however, they were very toned down and easy to avoid if you wanted. Provided by Google, they were not obnoxious.

Great site. Loaded with videos, information for kids, as well as parents and educators. The kids section has games, downloads and other resources. I also liked the faith resources section. This could be used in schools with a religious background.

There is also games, wallpapers, screensavers, videos for online safety and a site for educators.

This web site takes students through a scientific investigation about a large number of absences in a school district. Students work through the scientific method by looking at data, doing research, coming up with hypotheses, and drawing conclusions to determine what is making students in a school district absent.

This site totally rocks! I love science as inquiry, and this gives you a great activity to put best practices to use.
