Kids learn about the Internet, safely traveling through it, and becoming aware of the hazards of its use. Requires an adult's email address but otherwise free. It is brightly animated with games, prizes, videos and play along with the cute characters of Clicky, Nettle, Webster and Router. Developed by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. This is great for the library teacher to use for teaching Internet safety.

This website is a great source to go to find information about Nebraska. It is the Nebraska Historical Society website. The site has many links that will lead to a wealth of information on the state of Nebraska

This internet site provides a variety of resources for learning about the state history of Nebraska. Searching through the wide historical collections online, I discovered a wealth of photographs, maps and even information about individuals and families. The society does provide a specific "Teacher Materials" link. For fourth grade Nebraska social studies standards!

This is going to be one database which I will go to over and over again. It has an awesome section titled Teacher Resources which looks like a very interesting place to visit often. It has a section on the 21st Century literacies. It also has a curriculum collaboration section. This will be helpful because many schools are going to a lot of cross curricular activities. It has another section about ethical researching. This is one of the things that I think students have difficulty understanding and especially internet based information. Many students think because it is on the "net" it is true. I found an awesome feature. If a school is using google apps there is support on this site for them if they are having trouble with this application. There is a blog on this site as well. The last section which I thought is really nice is the sticky note cards which are available. Be sure to check out this site; its features are great.

Kathy Schrock provides information about using primary and secondary sources to make them easier to find and use with students. The wide assortment of subjects are grouped into easy to navigate categories to easily find a resource/link. Connections to Lewis and Clark would be a great resource for 4th grade.

This is a wonderful site that would be useful to school librarians or technology teachers to help plan lessons on internet use, using primary documents and media literacy.

This website is a must for science teachers. Numerous Internet-based lesson plans and activities can be found here. Nearly all of these lessons are linked to common science standards and science literacy standards. Students can listen to the weekly podcast on breaking science news or stories. What is really cool is the resource navigator which helps science educators find other online resources dealing with their topic of study.
