From Australia,
check out this science devoted to what the author calls "playwiths".
The site is absolutely enormous will all kinds of ideas and suggestions
for the K-6 science teacher.
Normally,
there are some things that leap out when I visit websites but this
is very engaging with so much to do and explore. Set aside a great
deal of time when you decide to go exploring here.
Online
Writing Help
http://www.paragraphpunch.com/
Sometimes we all get stuck trying to get started
when doing some writing. The same applies for students and so how about
a little online inspiration to help get started?
It's
not going to do the complete job for you but nothing electronic will.
However, for tips and ideas, it may be just what's needed to get the
ball rolling.
Tutorials with Pictures

Pictures...thousand
words...learn at your own pace...this site has it all.
The Ministry
licensed StarOffice product is based upon the works of the OpenOffice
project and you'll find assistance for all of the components commonly
used in our classrooms including most of the commonly performed tasks.
The site
is devoted to the premise that all training materials should be free
and freely available for people to access. They do an excellent job
delivering as promised.
Searching for Meaning
http://www.metaglossary.com/
This is
truly a new way to look at Searching.
Most of
us are familiar with the results and sometimes frustrations that come
from searching the major internet search engines where most anything
goes.
If what you're looking for is an explanation
for terms or ideas and not just text that happens to appear in a webpage
somewhere, bookmark the MetaGlossary. It will come in handy.
Culture and Traditions Storytelling

Story telling is a real part of the First Canadian culture and they
are available on the web for all to enjoy and understand.
First Nations, Metis, and Inuit all have a section on this website.
You can read the stories, filled with images right on your computer.
In addition, inline MP3 files let you hear the stories
and interviews with the contributors. This multimedia approach will generate
new insight into these cultures not available by other means.
