This website allows students and teachers to create imaginary Facebook pages for study purposes. Within the site you can choose from historical people such as Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill or Queen Elizabeth. Students can create a profile for their person and choose their "friends." They can also add posts and comments to their person's Fakebook page. This website can be used for book reports, character plots from novels, historical moments and many more educational purposes.

I just checked this out. It actually seems much more user friendly than myfakewall. Thanks for the resource, Erin. I'm going to use this with my classes for the next novel that we read.

Very cool. Like Greg, I've seen myfakewall, but not this one. This will be a great thing for us to do in my 7th grade classes when we talk about cyberbullying and online safety. The students will love it!
Homework help and free tutors - 1 views

At jiskha.com, a student can get homework help in any subject area and grade level. You can view recent questions that have been asked and either post an answer yourself or view other's answers. For the music section, there were quality, complex questions regarding composers, instruments, styles of music, music history, and more! Students can also chat with live on-line tutors. The site features a homework help reference page which includes links to dictionaries, encyclopedias, maps, almanacs, etc. I think it might be a fun assignment to have my students develop a question regarding a topic we are studying, post-it, and report back to the class with answers they received.

This site has some really neat ideas for new and interesting ways for students to show their knowledge. It is an excellent resource for book report ideas. The site also provides links to other helpful websites. I did find the site a little strange to navigate in that the directions for creating a project are located in one place and then it directs you to another location on the site for pictures or drawings of the process, but overall it is still a good resource.
