DigiTales (http://www.digitales.us/) is a website promoting the art of digital storytelling.  If you have students create personal stories about themselves and their experiences, this website is worth a hard look.  Here is an excerpt explaining their mission: "Digital Storytelling takes the ancient art of oral storytelling and engages a palette of technical tools to weave personal tales using images, graphics, music and sound mixed together with the author's own story voice. Digital storytelling is an emerging art form of personal, heartful expression that enables individuals and communities to reclaim their personal cultures while exploring their artistic creativity. While the heart and power of the digital story is shaping a personal digital story about self, family, ideas, or experiences, the technology tools also invite writers and artists to think and invent new types of communication outside the realm of traditional linear narratives." This website provides some great rubrics for grading a number of oral, visual and print activities.  It also provides some great ideas for projects, activities and lessons to support what you are already doing.

"The list features some very useful Math websites specifically handpicked for teachers to use with their students."
