At http://www.educationalrap.com/teachers-schools, listen to some samples of a great music library of educational rap/hip-hop and pop songs. We already own a set of these tracks in the library, so what you hear is what you can easily get — to use in the classroom, post to your blog or just amuse your students. On the website, you’ll find lyrics for each song, tips for using them, suggested activities and related links. For instance, Math teachers, check this out: Rise up, we’re mappin’ graphs

Another effort to improve student access to high-quality educational resources, especially multi-media content, is HippoCampus, from the Monterey Institute for Technology & Education. Students can browse multi-media lessons and find help with topics covered in popular textbooks.

Here are two websites with helpful resources for science students:
At http://cassiopeiaproject.com/ the goal is to make science education videos available to all who want them. Short clips can be found on biology, chemistry, evolution and other science topics.
At http://learn.genetics.utah.edu students and teachers will find well organized and clearly written information on the basics of DNA, stem cells, cloning, heredity and more – much of it in interactive and animated form.

you can make “cool stuff” with digital photos - motivational posters, jigzaw images, mosaics and more. My favorite is the magazine cover option – where you can add pictures, titles and graphics to make yourself or a friend a cover star. (Teachers take note – a magazine cover might be an excellent way to communicate understanding and perspective on a complex topic.)

All of these titles are new additions to our eBook collection — & just a fraction of what you can find there thanks to the Connecticut State Library’s “iConn” collection (your tax dollars at work.) You and your students can search quickly through all our eBooks – and iConn’s – at one time from the library home page at www.whps.org/school/conard/library and use the same link from home with a user name we’ll supply on request!

A student (of course) recommended this site to Glastonbury English teacher Mark Dursin, who wrote about it in the Courant. “Sporcle.com is an online trivia site jampacked with timed quizzes…which run the gamut of categories, from geography to sports to literature to pop culture. Some require a doctorate and some fall into the “Just for Fun” category.” There’s bound to be something fun – and educational – here you can “assign” your students. Then let the games begin!

For Marine Science classes, a little corner of NOAA you might have missed: The National Marine Sanctuaries Media Library. Gorgeous – and searchable by subject/topic.
