WebQuest.Org... to create or find a webquest
http://webquest.org/index.php
A complete and current source of information about the WebQuest Model.
WebQuests are inquiry-oriented lessons in which learners find information on the web.
Instead of sending them off on "Google," create a (or find an existing) WebQuest to lead students to information you want them to explore on the internet.
I have used WebQuests and love them! Please feel free to come to me with any questions.

http://www.awesomelibrary.org/Awesome_Talking_Library.html
Awesome Talkster is a free, easy to use tool that allows you to select online text and have it read to you. It provides synchronized highlighting so that the reader can follow along even more easily.
There are many uses for this in the classroom. Students can learn to pronounce the words they are reading and can build their comprehension.

The talkser can accept additional voices (languages) such as Spanish and other languages. This will be very helpful with our ESL students!
Have a great time with the Talkster! I can think of many uses for this tool. If you need assistance, please ask me!
