Students really do enjoy using Glogster. I do think that it is gret that the students have so many different ways in which to show their knowledge and mastery of the material. It also does give them the opportunity to use some cretivity when designing them.

My students enjoy the surveys/polls on this site.

Times for Kids is great for social studies classes and is super easy to adapt articles for different reading and grade levels. The site also has a teacher's section with related items for download that would be easily integrated into a lesson plan for a comprehension check or group activity. The site layout and topics make current events a little more grasp-able for the younger students.
