www.wingclips.com is a wonderful site that is designed to be used in the classroom. It has especially come in handy for me during my lesson on theme. There are free mini-clips that teachers can use to get the idea of theme across to their students. It's not blocked at my school, which is a blessing, but even if it were blocked, there's an easy way to download the video clips (again for free). There aren't any issues with copyright infringement, either, so that's nice. It's also easy to navigate. I love [|http://www.edzone.net/~mwestern/] because it offers so much. There are pre-made PowerPoints available for teacher use, and a lot of them are educational but also fun for the students. There are pre-made worksheets for teachers that have been broken into subject areas. There are multiple tutorials, and there are even tech tips included on these tutorials. You can learn how to make hyperlinks, turn text sideways, create Bingo games and Category games for the classroom, and there are so many more. There also is a list of 10 Office tips. This site is well-designed and easy to use. There's just a wealth of information that is free to teachers. [|http://www.edzone.net/~mwestern/stuff.html] Sorry if this has already been posted. Just stumbled upon it

 * I just discovered this site tonight while browsing a techie bookmark list. I tried it out and it looks pretty cool. It is a subscription site, and I'm not sure I want to invest $20 for a year's subscription. Does anyone else use it or know anyone who does? So many tools, so little time.
