this site has links to good websites about the forest, wild flowers, animals, rain forest, etc. Go to the why section. the rest is mainly a campaign to post photos of nature on facebook to get others interested in the outdoors.

I find Eleanor Roosevelt to be a fascinating person. I was excited to find this resource for primary sources written by Eleanor herself. She wrote the "My Day" column from 1936 to 1962. This site also contains a variety of speeches and writings of Mrs. Roosevelt. This site also has lesson plans for grades k-12 on Eleanor Roosevelt, Human Rights, and the 1960 John Kennedy presidental election.

This is the official site for the Ken Burns series on National Parks. Here you can watch clips of the series. There are sections on the history of national parks and the people often associated with the parks. There are lesson plans for upper grades for various episodes. There are also learning modules for digital story telling that I found very interesting.

I really liked the teacher resources on this site. It was applicable for any grade, and was broken up into how much time you would like to spend. There are also a variety of multimedia resources. This was and interesting series as it looks at what scientists and engineers do outside the lab, and how it can relate back to their work. There are also a wide variety of careers and ages of individuals interviewed.

This site has everything Nebraska. Click on the Nebraska Time line and you are taken to a more detailed timeline for that period. Then click on an event and you are taken to a page with specific resources and information. There are also lesson plans to download for grades 4, 8, and 12. It is pretty easy to navigate this site.

I really like this site. It has information on the current Iditarod dog race in Alaska. There are blogs you can follow and a special "Teacher on the Trail" section that is specific to helping classes follow the race, and understand it. There is a reading project, a writing to the mushers project, and virtual field trips.

This site has been of interest to every teacher I tell about it. It contains virtual trips of a large variety of books for all age groups. You need google maps to use this site as it is map based. Takes books to where they take place and shows you on the map or with photos of what the characters would see. A new way to look at books.
