You Tube- You Tube is a site where anyone can go to see anything from their favorite movie clips to famous speeches. It appears that overnight this site has become one of the greatest internet sensations ever! You Tube can be a site for videos that may seem inappropriate, but when used for the right things it can be a great resource.

Survey Monkey- Did you ever wonder how you can quickly make up your own survey for class? Here is your opportunity! Surveymonkey.com is a site where you can create a survey online, send it to whomever you want, and get feedback from anybody anywhere in the world. It's quick and easy!

eboard- As an instructor all of our paperwork mounts up and there are many times in which our students become quite disorganized because of it. With eboard an instructor can have his or her own site and have students visit to get updates for class, assignments, or even take tests. It can work as your own personal classroom site. Go green with eboard.

Remember the Milk- Rememberthemilk.com is for all of you who can remember to do the simple tasks that we are asked to do daily. This application is accessible through your phone, twitter, and most search engines. Instead of having lists or even a palmpilot, you can go into your account anywhere as long as there is internet service and what task it is that you have to remember.

4teachers.org- This is a dreamsite for instructors everywhere. This site can give you new ideas for setting up a rubric, test format, or most any other function that teachers use in classrooms today.

Zamzar- Zamzar is a must have for all of us involved in file sharing and downloads this day in age. Zamzar can convert just about any file format into another just by clicking a few applications. This way, you will be able to read anytext or watch any movie by converting the file to match one that is compatible with your PC.

Animoto-   This site is for your students to get their creative juices flowing. Animoto provides a great mix of music and the ability to make your own movie. What kid wouldn't want to do that? These films can be as long as or short as you want them to be and can appeal to anyone. This would be a great alternative for a presentation.

This week in rap-    Most of our students like music....right? We want them to know about what is going on in the world and current events right? Well this site puts them both together with clean rhymes and turns the week in news into a new song at the end of each week. This is a great way to get our music lovers in tune with the news.

Kick you tube-    Want a great way to get around the blockage of You Tube by your school district. This is the way! If you type in "kick" in front of the You Tube url for the video that you would like to see, then you will have access to your video through this site. You Tube lives!

toondoo-    This site is like animoto, but for a younger crowd and without the music. It is easy and user friendly so that even elementry school students can operate it.
