All My Faves

All My Faves is a site that is just what it says - all the author's faves. If you visit this site, be prepared to be sidetracked. Many times.

Ideas for Classroom: I don't think I would use this in the classroom, but rather as a virtual library of sorts. The sites are sorted in a very logical way, and set up to open in a new tab when clicked.

USA Today graphics

This site has several archived USA Today "snapshots" - those graphics USA Today is useful for.

Ideas for classroom: This would be a good site to grab a bell-ringer to help students read various types of graphs while learning some current events. In my yearbook class I would also use this to show some of the many ways students can display information in an entertaining manner.

National Archives

Interactive National Archives. Take a trip without leaving your seat! I'm not quite sure how I'd use this site yet, but the potential is there. In spades.

More Graphic Organizers

Just in case you don't already have enough graphic organizers, here's another site. Cool thing about this site - they are interactive! You download it, type your info in, and print it out. Shabang.

Math Warehouse

I have included this site just because I think Math Teachers are awesome!!

Super Teacher Tools

Um...the name says it all. Fun Flash games, random group generator, seating chart, and name generator.
