The Witch Hysteria: An Interactive Adventure - If you dare, enter this virtual journey back to Salem in 1692 and experience what //actually// happened to those accused of witchcraft. I use this when my grade 11 students read //The Crucible// by Aurthur Miller (an allegory for the 1950s McCarthy era Communist witch hunt). [|**The Witch Hysteria**] **Lois Allwein**

[|http://docs.google.com]
 * Google Docs** is a free, Web-based word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and form application offered by Google. It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users. I use it to create forms that students fill out at the beginning of the course to gather student information. When doing labs, students can upload their numerical data into a single spreadsheet that the whole class can access and manipulate. Students can also access the same word processing document from multiple computers and make changes in real-time. - **Shawn Godack**

http://www.thefutureschannel.com/ I like this website because it focuses on applying math concepts to the real-world. Some of the lessons include movies that can be viewed before working on a class activity. - **Erika Miller**

http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ The National Geographic website is an excellent source for current events, video clips and photography. It has amazing stories that often integrate content and promote natural and cultural conservation. This is both a student and teacher resource ~**Asha Withers**

This is an extensive site on American history that includes an online textbook, multimedia, online exhibits, primary sources, and lessons. I use this site quite a bit for my online lessons. One of the best online exhibitions on this site focuses on [|American Reconstruction]. - **//Swogger//**
 * [|Digital History]**



[|http://www.quia.com] Create your own educational games, quizzes, class web pages, surveys and much more. You can also explore and search other activities by other educators from around the world. - **Jennifer Dayhoff**

I have a flipchart that I use in class often when reviewing vocabulary. It is on promethian planet and my active studio. __http://www.prometheanplanet.com/server.php?show=ConResource.736__ -- **Steve Glassman**

Cool Tools For Schools - http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/ 1000 and one free web 2.0 tools for use in the classroom. I call this the motherlode of tool sites for educators. If it exists, it's here. Take your pick at how you want to use all these tools. This is a teacher resource. **Barbara Kingsley**

[|http://www.quizlet.com] Great review site. Allows teachers and students to create flashcards that can be printed and manipulated. If you create a class, students can create them. It will also give sample quizzes based on the terms/vocabulary that are given. - **Casey Thurston**

[|www.digitales.us] This site will help you and your students create digital stories. There is a reference section for grades K to 12 teachers. I think you will enjoy looking at the examples and grading rubrics. Mary Louise Hutchison

[|http://geology.com] This is a site that contains anything you would want or need to know about our planet. There are maps, news articles, lessons, and much more. Take a look at this sight even if you don't teach science! There are current events, environmental topics, government policies, and cultural resources that any teacher could use. I am currently using an interactive map that focuses on [|Plate Tectonics] as a visual for students.

[|http://www.icue.com] This is a site produced by NBC news. It provides current events information and enrichment tools for high school students. Marcia Gregorio

[|http://www.explorelearning.com] This is the Gizmos site that has been purchased by the District for the math and science departments. I use this for all levels of algebra and geometry by picking the gizmos that I want for that lesson and use them for reinforcement of ideas. You must enter your class lists to set-up usernames and passwords for each student. Assessments are made for each gizmo which you have access to. You can reset the gizmo if you want the students to redo them. Carol Glatfelter [|http://sketchup.google.com] This is a free architectural CAD program offered through google, where students can design, lay out and build 3-D floorplans of houses, rooms, structures, etc. I am using it to do a floorplan for a house project in my Applied Geometry class. The program must be downloaded, but doesn't take that long. You have to use your creative skills to build some of the walls and roof structures but it is pretty sophisticated for a free program. Carol Glatfelter

[|Lewis and Clark National Geographic Site] This is a great site dedicated to the Lewis and Clark expedition. It includes maps, journal entries, games, and much more. -Bryan Willard

http://www.wiley.com/college/pratt/0471393878/student/animations/dna_replication/index.html This site provides a detailed simulation of the process of DNA replication. It goes through the process multiple times and breaks it down into learnable segments. Along the way, it also provides quiz questions for the students to answer. -**Rich Harvey**
