Thanks for sharing. This is a great site.

This is a website where I found a Who Wants to be a Millionaire game that reviews test-taking tips. I am going to use it to review with my students before the PSSA in April. Best suited for elementary I think.

I took the test and wond $1,000,000,000. I wish. I bookmarked this and shared with some other groups. Thanks for passing it on.

Believe it or not, Facebook and Twitter aren't the only cool social networking sites on the Web. If your kids are too young for Facebook, or you're concerned about privacy, consider looking into some lesser-known social networking sites geared for tweens, preteens, and yes, even teenagers. We've rounded-up some of the top social networking sites that allow kids to keep a tighter rein on their privacy. Our choices include sites that limit the ways you connect with friends, offer greater control over how you interact, or home in on specific interests. Some of the sites for kids on the younger end of the scale offer more parental controls, too, so you can have a better sense of what your kid is doing online.

Scientists are continually on a mission to learn more about the world around them, and thus the information available is continually changing as the knowledge grows. Good science teachers understand the importance of staying up-to-date with the latest happenings in the world of science. A great way to do so is by following blogs. Not only can teachers stay abreast of what is happening, but many of these blogs serve as an excellent resource for students, as well.

Cool site! A teacher can set up a site and have students dial in via their cell phones to submit assignments, and voice message responses. The teacher can log into the site and check the work submitted. Students can upload a variety of file types and can submit responses via voicemail.

I tried this out at the Pete and C conference and it was really cool. We phoned in an image to the teacher site and we were able to call in and submit a response to a questions provided by the teacher.

This site was so cool. I created my own comic story. I was able to play brain buster games I read stories and had stories read to me, and watched videos about how to create a comic.. This site was created by Jim Davis, creator of the comic strip Garfield, in conjunction with Ball State University and PAWS, Inc. It give kids the opportunity to explore, create and connect safely with kids around the world. Jim Davis created this site because he felt there was a need to provide a high-quality, free, and engaging web site that could motivate children to achieve their full potential. The approach is kid-centric and tries to close the achievement gap between what kids seek to do on the Internet and standards-based educational activities. The mission of Professor Garfield.org is encourage children to explore academically sound literacy activities and provide them with tools to express themselves through creative writing prorams. It's an Internet destination that is safe, free and fun! The Professor Garfield and Sparktop sites (both found on this link) provide all kids of ways for kids to shine and showcase their talents and abilities! Students can record their own "talent" for Sparkstage (our American Idol-like competition), arrange music with the awesome music mixer tool, create their own comic strip in the Comis Lab, learn to sculpt, or be taught to draw by professional artists in the Art-Bot section. On Sparktop.org kids safely connect with other kids who knwow what they are going through. They find information about how their brain works and get tips on how to succeed in school and life. And they get to showcase their creativity and be recognized for their strengths. Millions of children from around the world visit the web site every month.

A great article on how the econony is affecting high school students decisions on choosing between a four year college or a two year college. With the way things are going in our society in regards to finance more students are becoming aware of and trying to avoid having to pay back large student loans.

Great article I found on social and emotional learning. I enjoyed reading it, because it relates well with a topic I researched for another Wilson course this year. It would have been a great resource for my research paper.
