More sites with everything from science, to math and social studies resources. Cosmeo is a fantastic resource put out by Discovery, and I urge you all to use it!

=== 1. www.cosmeo.com This is put out by Discovery Channel and does have a fee, but you can set up student accounts and customize the site and activities to compliment classwork. ===

2. glogster.edu My co-op opened my eyes to this site. Set up an account as a class page or have each student create a "glog" poster to present and share online with the class.

3. www.weebly.com Online portfolio presentations, very easy to set up!

4. @http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic86.htm Go to the bottom half of this page to find links by content area. ABSOLUELY awesome resource!

@http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/index.html

6. Site that explores throwing pottery and other hands on crafts. Their is also a section where you can take a road trip through the south, which is kind of interesting.

12. [|www.mrnussbaum.com]
This is a fantastic site, with interactive games and activities that would be great either individually or on the SmartBoard for a whole class. Just check it out, there is too much on this site to explain it all here!

13. [] This is the "sister" site to Mr. Nussbaum, and allows you to set up free student account, have classroom tournaments, and review student progress individually.

[|http://www.voicethread.com] Set up a social networking group for your class. You can then record voiceovers, video, pictures, anything to go with a unit. You can then set up all students with an account and they can view classmates work in a looping video.
