Think Quest is a great site for doing projects with kids.
Here's a great SMARTboard resource I found on the web.
I found "Evernote" this am. It is for Macs but there is a version for MS too (One Note)... it can also be downloaded on Droids (Verizon) cool for note taking
Great site for people like me who would like to be able to do the "simple" things on a computer but who are easily frustrated.
I use portaportal to organize links for kids and families.
This is a great site for extra worksheets (answers included) for pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry.
It has some group/game ideas too (minimal).
You may use this music for classroom presentations, just cite the composer and site as normal. If it says ASCAP you may only use 10% of the piece.
Is a blog too much work? Try a microblog. With Twitter, you can post quick messages but Tumblr allows you to add video, audio, pictures and more.
A bunch of people have asked me about this book:

M.T. Anderson
Social Bookmarking sites allow you to keep your "favorites" online and share them with others. Here is a fun and easy Social Bookmaking site: Only2Clicks
