 * http://www.theeducationcenter.com/cgi-bin/tec/guest.jsp is the site for Mailbox Magazine online. Even if you don't subscribe to the magazine you can register to have access to a variety of materials and ideas
 * Just wanted to share this site that I recently learned about:

The site is focused on various reading strategies. The teacher area has lesson plans, posters, videos, research, and funny songs that focus on each of the strategies. The student area is so cool, too... It has fun activities for students on each of the strategies. (For example, the inferring activity has students read pen pal letters and they have to use clues to figure out where the pen pal is from.) I LOVE this site!!! Hope someone else can find it useful.

www.usatestprep.com to help with the EOCT preparation and www.quia.com is what we use for creating online quizzes for our students.
 * Two sites that our school uses extensively is
 * This site has tons of info for high school math.

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ www.izzit.org is a wonderful site for teachers to get their students more involved with current events. The current events link is http://www.izzit.org/events/index.php, and I know some social studies teachers who are using it, but I also met a Language Arts teacher today who is using it to teach different types of writing. She was able to use it to teach persuasive writing and expository writing. I don't particularly care for the layout of the website, but the info is really good.
