Sweet Links to Share

This will be a random collection of links that are awesome. Please enjoy.

When Kevin and I travel to Europe (after saving up some pennies), we will be touring with one of Rick Steves' pals because they'll provide one heckuva trip. Perhaps you'd also like to tour with them? Explore here.

I found this site after seeing an awesome picture at nationalgeographic.com. Super interesting and extremely aesthetically pleasing.

On a slightly different note: this site rocks anyone's socks off for primary sources from American history. They even sell DVDs and CDs! I've not been able to buy any yet... but I have big plans.

This site was designed by a teacher at Central Academy (where I'm currently working) who is, in a word, amazing. This woman wears so many hats in the building and does a wonderful job with all of her responsibilities. She developed this website as a resource for teachers using the SIOP model for teaching English Language Learners and it has a butt-ton of great links.

I happened upon this site while lesson planning for a science session with my 7th/8th graders. It was something they really liked exploring.

This site provides a bunch of different techniques for book-making with kids. I've made a few with some lovable lil' hoolies and they had a great time. Two thumbs up.

This site is just plain fun.

I was introduced to this site by one of my 6th graders during a computer lab session. Challenging and fun.

I feel like there's something I'm forgetting to include but I just can't think of what it could be! If/when I remember I will insert it.
