Lesson Plans

http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/index.jsp has teacher created lesson plans for 9-12 English, Science, and Social Studies.

http://newtoolsworkshop.wikispaces.com/ This wiki has tons of great 2.0 tools and examples of how to use them in your classroom or at school. It's maintained by a library guru in Pennsylvania, Joyce Valenza.

Mindmapping: http://www.newhorizons.org/strategies/graphic_tools/margulies.htm Sometimes those kids who are doodling in class really are paying attention-- they're just looking for a creative, visual outlet for their thinking. Nancy Margulies has some fantastic examples and reasoning/research behind this.

Vuvox: create interactive slideshows in a panoramic format. This is better than Powerpoint for visual presentations.

For the tech-savvy teacher:
