 * LESSON PLANNING and PROJECT BASED LEARNING**
 * Interactive NETS*S has a **plethora** of lesson ideas and resources that align directly with the **National Education Technology Standards for Students.** (Including the 4 C's for 21st Century Learners). The wiki creators have great, easy to integrate lesson ideas for teachers who are beginners in tech integration to more advanced "techies"!

 * Projects by Jen is a collaborative website for teachers to connect to do a variety of technology based projects throughout the year. Jen has an extensive site full of useful links and projects. The next project is the Holiday Card Exchange, with projects such as the Great Egg Roll (doing math skills with eggs around Eastertime) and "PARK"ing Space which will focus on National Parks. [|Guess the Wordle] is a fun daily activity to get kids thinking in just a few seconds.


 * SPELLING**
 * [|Spelling City]is a site students can access at home or school. The teacher inputs the week's spelling list, then students can play games based on the weekly list, take practice tests, or take the final weekly test. Teachers can also print activities such as crosswords, word scrambles, and complete the sentence activities.


 * PRESENTATIONS**
 * Prezi is a fun alternative to powerpoint presentations. This site can be used by teachers to create presentations or by students to share information instead of the typical report.


 * Glogster is another alternative to allow kids to present information. This week, Glogster is going through some major changes. If you want to sign up for an account, make sure you use the education version, as the mainstream Glogster site can be school-inappropriate. Here's an example of a 5th grade student's glog about Robert E. Lee. I've also included a glog made by a teacher describing some Web 2.0 for the classroom tips!
