I do have web-site info.
from my son, David...he's in the Environmental Health & Safety Dept
at UCLA, and they have a web-site to check out your health &
PREVENTION of injury at your work/computer station.... We
do so much training w/ how to use the features of computer, programs,
etc...it's great to know that we can prevent future problems
(physically) by incorprating a few pointers from the health pros.
This
is the Mars Rovers ( NASA) web-site; the photos are quite interesting
and very timely...recommend to any elementary or secondary science or
current events teacher.

I work for a non-profit website out of Western Illinois University which
focuses on the integration of technology in the classroom. We now have a
scholarship which pays the subscription costs. For more information please
contact me at la-whitehall@wiu.edu.

We
usually use the alphabetical choice to select our career and get the
info. But, I see that if you click on the homepage and scroll to the
bottom of the page, there is a link for kids that may be better for the
elementary level.
Ginger Long recommended:
http://www.kidlink.org
This
is an award winning international collaboration project designed to
bring students closer together through understanding and appreciating
their sameness and differences. There are dozens of projects and forums
to chose from, some last only a few hours, some can last for the whole
school year. It is authentic learning across the curriculum, regardless
of ability, or the number of computers in your classroom.

These
are teacher resources that Ginger has compiled on her school website
that include units on Bats and Native Americans, along with on-line
rubrics and technology resources.

http://www.storyit.com
It is for K-2nd grade with story starters, activities for nersery
rhymes, poems and games (especially for Apple) I found it very helpful
for students with limited writing ability.
http://www.theschoolbell.com
This is for K-2 as well. It contains thematic units of various topics, lesson plans, games for the younger set.
http://ghills.metamora.k12.il.us
This
is a school site of which I attended a presentation on ways to increase
technology in the classroom when I was in Springfield last October. The
teachers presenting it, mostly concentrated on their class (1st grade--
http://ghills.metamora.k12.il.us/1b/1b.htm)but in looking around in the site, I found other interesting things that other teachers had completed.

this actually is my favorites uploaded. This way, I can share them with
students and staff, and work on them at home with a minimum of fuss.
There are literally hundreds of sites here. I am in the process of
organizing them, but it does take time.
http://www.emsd37.org/gvlib/index.html
this is my webpage. The projects page are links that staff have sent to
me to correlate with specific assignments. The more we do the more this
is getting used.
