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

Resources for Everyday Mathematics, including online games sorted by grade level and unit.

A great website for teachers, students, and parents. Teachers can get lesson plan ideas, additional resources to complement Scholastic News subscriptions, order items and books for the classroom, and print mini-books and other reproducibles. Students can have discussions with others who are reading the same or similar books and learn about new books and authors. Parents can find activities for their child and even learn about how their child's reading develops.

An online classroom - teachers can create a classroom, post questions, assignments and feedback. Students can answer question and post assignments.

A great place to go for affordable books.

I've used this site before and was very pleased with the speed of shipping!

A great alternative to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders.

The Info Please site provides the same type of information as the traditional almanac. It is great for current events, statistical information, or facts about a wide variety of topics. One drawback for this site when using it with students is that it has advertising banners.

This site promotes active, healthy lifestyle choices and provides dozens of easy-to-do activities involving healthy eating and physical activity. The site also gives teachers ideas of how to kickoff and implement the program in school!

This website allows teachers to easily create word puzzles such as matching activities, flash cards, crossword puzzles, and word searches. Online versions of these same puzzles can also be used. It also has an online dictionary feature that provides the definition of a word as well as uses it in a sentence and provides different translations. Students can also choose from an extensive list, which dictionary they'd like to use. Some features do require the user to create an account, and there is also a premium account that users can pay a fee for. I'm sure this would open up even more resources, though I did not try this portion.

The Wisconsin Veterans Museum has a travel trunk program where teachers can check out trunks. The trunks have artifacts, activities and resourses for the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War.

BadgerLink is a project of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Learning. Its goal is to provide access to quality online information resources for Wisconsin residents in cooperation with the state's public, school, academic, and special libraries and Internet Service Providers.
