Playmusic.org was developed by the League of American Orchestras and allows students to meet and hear living musicians and composers and play numerous exciting games that build musical skills! My students love (and get addicted) to playing the ear training percussion memory game!

This a great resource for students to collaborate with their notes for a project. I have my eighth graders use it for research for their group projects and they also have to share the documents with me, which allows me to see their progress and make comments without having to collect any paper from them. Another great thing about Google Apps is the ability to access it anywhere the students have internet. For them, it's like having a built-in flash drive via the internet.

I haven't used Google Apps with my students yet but am looking forward to showing them how to use it. It will be very useful for them when they are transfering work from school to home.

There is now a comment feature in DOCs, so a teacher can comment on student work without messing up the original. Comments show up as highlighting.

This is a really cool website for students and/or adult s who are either an ESL student, studying English as a foreign language or who just want to brush up on their English. This website offers everything from games to pronunciation to slang and idioms. This site can also be used in the classroom to help students studying specific components of English such as figurative language. Students can practice what they have learned by taking the quizzes or play a word game. While searching through this website I actually learned a few new things! This website really does have everything!

Looks interesting.  I haven't played here yet.

This is a great website to use while studying WWII and the holocaust. The website has many different activities for students and teachers.

This really is a valuable site. I know that I'm planning on doing a mini-holocaust unit this year, and there are so many great resources here.

Has "thinking guides" (non-verbal organizers)

As the title suggests, this is a possible starting point for project based learning.

Ties in with physical science, Medieval history. The game lets you smash a castle. What could be better?

Bogs are a great way for students to collaborate on a subject. They can work together to create a blog or use the teacher created blog to ask questions and comment on specific topics.

Great resource for English/LA lesson plans by the NCTE

A couple different activities for students to use which offer immediate feedback.

Part of the Newseum website, this link will give you access to the front pages of more than 800 different newspapers from around the world. You can search by name or region. You will even find several newspapers from Wisconsin! Copyright laws still apply.

Very cool. This gives me a great idea about how to show students that are major issues are not always viewed in the same way in different parts of the country. You have just helped me create a much stronger persuasive essay unit. Thanks,Greg.

Great resource for teachers! Features lesson plans, archived videos, and much more that can be useful in the classroom!

I had never checked out this site before. After looking around on it a bit, I am very excited to take advantage of it. I noticed that they have archived a bunch of webinars. There were many that interested me, and I'll be checking them out more later. I also loved that you can ask questions and respond to other teachers. What a great way to get new and fresh ideas!

Very nice resource. So many great aspects to this site.

A great site for exciting new ideas! Very teacher friendly!
