Best Websites for Teaching and Learning
From AASL, a list of 25 best. The selection committee took 21st century skills to heart when nominating these, awarding the recognition after looking at ..."qualities of innovation, creativity, active participation, and collaboration." See if you agree:
Websites of Interest
Challenge your students to discover how they compare with others nationally and from around the world. Select a subject, grade level, and answer questions.
Kerpoof! offers students a fun way to create movies, cards, stories, and more!

Mind Mapping and Other Tools
These sites were compiled with college students in mind, but certainly they have value for younger students as well. Anyone interested in graphic organizers should take a look at these helpful resources.

Need a stop watch?
A stopwatch could come in handy in your classroom. Try this:
Study Guides
A self-avowed site designed to help learners succeed, this has something for every learner. How to prepare for a learning task, how to study, learn, collaborate, communicate, manage projects and engage in research are all topics included with helpful handouts and online fill-in forms to make all related challenges manageable. Definitely worth a look!
Collage of Careers
Road Trip Nation offers students the opportunity to create videos that can be uploaded to YouTube as "Road Trips". For example, students could interview community members and find out about their career paths. This could be particularly compelling when looked at against the backdrop of today's economy.
