This site is for younger students and has hundreds of audio books that are free to listen to. What a great site for reading centers. This could be something used everyday in the classroom.

This is site where you create web like maps with others. The site look really amazing however I have not been able to spend more time on it yet to really see the true value yet. There is a section for educators that lowers the fees. There is also a free option where they strip down the functionality.

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. The education version of the site keeps students isolated from general user content. 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.

Although this is aimed at slightly younger kids, there are many topics to explore (mostly Social Studies) and it is highly interactive.

This website allows you to veiw different current stats from the past until the present in graph form. The graphs are very interactive. There is a section for teachers with great information on the using the graphs. You can even download a version for offline work.

This site is for sharing presentations and you don't have to have the actually software to view the the presentations. You can also upload pdfs and other types of documents. There is a section with information on using in education that I found helpful.

This is an online interactive game that teaches about shark biodiversity. There is sound so students would need headphones. Awesome to do with a student who has curriculum compacted...especially one who is very interested in sharks and marine life!

This is a fun website that helps teachers prepare short videos rather than making slideshows.

Animoto kicks your slide show up a notch. I think that combining animoto, prezi, and youtube can really make presentations much more interesting- by teachers and students!

I love this website! There are so many cool things you can do to present information to students. This is one of the best discoveries of this class!

This site has lots of resources for teaching kids about cyberbullying and how to prevent it. Resources on this site would be appropriate for middle school to high school age children.

Interactive website about how to stop and prevent cyberbullying. Can be used with 4th grade and up.

This is a virtual world sponsored by Disney. Parents must approve kids for involvement and there is free and "fee based" membership. Everything is monitored 24/7 for appropriate content by the website administrators.

Sponsored by the University of Oklahoma Department of Public Safety, this is an interactive website for kids about how to stay safe on the internet.

Lesson plans for a unit on how diverse cultures are portrayed in film, fiction and non-fiction. Allows students to think critically about the portrayal of groups and how it leads to stereotyping, racism and prejudice.

This has several links to places that offer special rates, coupons or discounts to teachers. Some are educationally connected and some are not. One of the many perks of being an educator!

Teachers can get information about life in areas all around the world. Site is about ten years old but is still available and accurate. This is a good one!

This is a great way to teach about economics to students in about 5th grade and up. Lots of lesson plans and how to play the game. Awesome stuff for gifted kids!
