Great New Web Sites

Go Wild with Videos in the Classroom - National Geographic lets the kids learn about wild life and create videos using drag-and-drop technology all at the same time and its fun for adults too.

Enroll your
students in Vocabulary University. This site has some great activities and lesson plans on words, vocabulary, supplementary SAT/ACT study and review, word lists for books, etc.

Smithsonian History Explorer - Great Site!!
http://historyexplorer.americanhistory.si.edu/ or http://thinkfinity.org/

This is a super site to help you with your own technology needs. The CustomGuide Software Training has released nearly 100 Software Quick References for free public use. These contain commands and shortcuts for such programs as Microsoft Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word and even includes the newer Office 2007 versions.

Please take some time and look these over. They are really great resources. Share them with your students.
