Maureen LaFleche spotted this great resource and here's what she has to say about it "Check out CK-12.org. It is a website that provides open-source content and technology tools to help teachers provide learning opportunities for students globally. Free access to high-quality, customizable educational content in multiple modalities suited to multiple student learning styles and levels, will allow teachers, students and others to innovate and experiment with new models of learning. CK-12 helps students and teachers alike by enabling rapid customization and experimentation of teaching and learning styles. Text can be read at two different levels - grade level and basic. You can download books and activities as pdf, epub or mobi." I have checked out several of the units and they look excellent for middle and high school.

Website dedicate to real-world applications of math for kids. Many lesson ideas. Just brilliant!

Wiki page I made for grade 6 class studying electricity. Contains links to websites, games, videos, etc.

Great site with general information about energy generation, safety, renewable energy, experiments, and a few interactive puzzles.

Discuss 6 different types of renewable energy sources with a great interactive diagram for each.

Talk about multiple means of Representation!! Great new search tool displays information in multiple formats including a brief explanation in text, photos, and links. Paul Hamilton blogged about it.

Takes a little time to load but totally worth it...gives the week's news in an awesome rap/video.

Unbelievably good video with rap. The Week in Rap provides a weekly summary of current events in a hip-hop music video for teens and students. Sometimes called "Weekend Rap" or "Week and Rap." Recommended by Kelly Tenkley at iLearn Technology.
