[] [|www.glogster.edu] || Virtual Spanish-speaking where you can interact and react to other.

Free podcasts that last only 20 minutes each. You can practice Spanish and other languages.

Make and view virtual posters as well as critique and comment on them and post them to your Facebook, etc. || Any Subject || media type="custom" key="8971786" || I love this website...www.quizlet.com! You can create unlimited flashcards for your classroom use for only $10 a year. (There is also a free version with a limit.) For Spanish it's great because you can print out a list of terms, hear each term pronounced, use virtual flashcards or print them out, play games and take practice quizzes. There are apps for phone and you can embed them into your blog or website as I have here. ||
 * Chris R. || High Schoo/
 * Denise Y. || Middle School / any subject. (also for elementary levels) || http://www.brainpop.com/health/ || I have been using this with my special needs students. There is a section for health and physical education and they create "brain pops" or quizzes. I can use these in place of my tests or quizzes and they are on the level needed for special needs or younger students. ||
 * Denise Y. || Any grade level / science || http://school.discoveryeducation.com/sciencefaircentral/Science-Fair-Projects.html || I actually don't use this site as a teacher, I use it as a parent. This site gives step by step direction, templates, & sample ideas for creating science projects and presentations. Science Fair made easy! ||
 * Matt E. || 9-12 Math || []

[] || This site offers a number of online manipulatives to use with high school math. They also offer options for other grades as well. I found one involving solving equations using a balance that I really liked.

This site offers a number of examples of lessons and problems you can use to apply science and math. I found a few examples that could be used in my Algebra 2 class when we are solving quadratics. ||
 * Eboni C. || Teachers, Students, and Parents of Science (All grades)

Teachers, Students, and Parents of Social Studies(All grades) || []

[] || Wow! I've used Discovery Education a bazillion times for articles and clip art but this link is a great resource for kids and parents who need help with **SCIENCE FAIR**.

This web page is a kid-friendly link to all kinds of valuable social studies websites (from African American History to the White House!) ||
 * Danielle L. || Teacher (all disciplines)

English Teachers || []

[] || This website give all teachers helpful resources. It will help with lesson plans and manipulatives.

This website helps English teachers come up with new ideas for teaching old subjects. It will integrate technology and helpful tips. ||
 * Mike W. || Algebra teachers

Algebra teachers || []

[] || This gives a great application of mathematics and also introduces students to the idea of a discrete model, as opposed to the usual continuous models we use in algebra classes.

This lesson introduces students to the geometric interpretation of the conic sections: circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas. It seems like a good way to include some hands-on techniques. ||
 * Kelly C || English Teachers || Shakepeare & Symbols

Grammar Bytes || Fun lesson where students examine the characters in the play //Romeo and Juliet// and find objects that symbolize the character.

Great site for teaching grammar. It's interactive and provides feedback to the user to explain why his/her answer was right or wrong. Also includes printable handouts. ||
 * Stephanie C. || Spanish Teachers || [|Spanish Speaking Country WebQuest]

[|Reflexive Verb Video] || This page gives details and a rubric for having students go on a Spanish Speaking Country WebQuest and Presentation. Includes samples from students, daily lesson plans and teacher reflection at the end of the project.

This is a great video for helping to explain how reflexive verbs are different from other verbs. It shows how they are conjugated and give examples for students to practice if a verb should be relexive or not. Video is from TeacherTube. ||
 * Becky Bollinger || Senior High English Teacher || [|Arthur: The Once and Future King] || This lesson plan from PBS.org contains valuable links, worksheets, and specific instructions. It also includes some interesting extension ideas I could do with my AP group. ||
 * Becky Bollinger || Senior High English Teacher || [|Facing It: Yusef Komunyakaa] || This page has a great video of the poet reading his poetry. The section entitled "teaching tips" helped me understand this poem better. (And I've read this poem many, many times!) ||
 * Sharon Bender || 6th grade language arts || [|daily poetry reading] || Using poetry to teach reading, this site gives suggestions to help students learn through reading poetry on a daily basis. ||
 * Sharon Bender || 6th grade language arts || [|Chomp Chomp] || Great interactive game to help students learn and practice grammar concepts. The games are fun and some are quite challenging! ||
 * Mike Moore || 10th grade Biology || The Biology Corner

Discovery Education || Biology Corner has tons of lessons for biology listed by category. It helps to give me ideas to adapt to the different levels I teach when I want to do something new.

I always use Discovery Education because they have very good video clips that allows me to show my students all the molecular biology concepts that we teach and it makes them "real", especially for my special education students. || Christopher || 4th Grade Math || [|Cool Math] || This is a great website for kids of all ages to practice math facts through gaming. Kids have the ability to choose an area they need to practice and are then able to choose a game that focuses on that math concept. The site has everything from simple addition to calculus. || Christopher || 4th Grade Language Arts || [|Storyline Online] || This is a website created and maintained by The Screen Actors Guild Foundation. On this site, various actors/actresses read stories while the words for the stories show up at the bottom of the page. This is a good site for those kids who are reading below level as it helps to expose them to reading fluency. The site also has follow up activities that kids can choose from to show their thinking about sthe story they read/heard online. ||
