This is a free resource for students and staff that allows them to input the bibliographic information from the resources they have used and it will create the citation for them. Users are able to choose MLA or APA styles, which will help both our students here and adults who may be taking graduate level courses.

Many special education teachers in the district use Boardmaker software to make picture schedules, social stories, flashcards, etc. This website allows parents and educators a 30 day free trial. If you like what you see, talk to a special educator in your building.

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.

This site has several videos showing some different strategies from middle school writing classrooms. The strategies are valuable and range from how to create a culture of writing in the classroom to how to get student writiers to enbrace the power of revision.

This is an AMAZING site with a ton of educational apps for iPod Touch and iPad. You can view and print a list of these apps with a description and cost of each of them. Prices for the apps range from free to quite expensive, but even some of the more costly apps have free versions available. The apps are also sorted into categories such as reading, math, art, and communication.

This is a great website where you can download audiobooks to a computer. They then can be transferred to an MP3 player for listening. I have done this for sections of books that we have read in class. All you need is a public library card

I love this website! I use it to download audiobooks for my ipod to listen to while driving back and forth to Dousman to visit my father. Students with reading challenges could also benefit from the use of audiobooks.

A great resource similar to Amazon for reading book reviews and downloading the digital version of good books.

Freeplaymusic.com has a library of copyright-free music spanning all genres, available for download either on-line or through a portable hard-drive. Music is organized by style, feel, and volume and features many classical composers, indie artists, and various sound effects. If students are making a video for a project, they will definitely want to check out this site!

I do like the added feature of this site to help create the bibliography. No matter how many times you go over bibliographies, they are always a pain for students. This helps alleviate some of that pain.

This was a cool site for me to show my class what F/CE in 1921 learned about. They had to opportunity to actually virtually "flip through" the pages of a Home Economics textbook from this era! Cool!

Games to support learning in all subjects, mostly elementary age. I use mostly the math games. They have a few for younger students that are obviously games, but require the student to figure out the answer first and not just guess blindly. There are also a number of printable worksheets.
