Must-see websites?
Hi all. I'm compiling a list of the education sites that you go to every day when you log on -- the go-to place for lesson plans, curriculum ideas, a quick grabs for those national holidays that catch us all off guard, or the 100th anniversary of such and such. Thanks for your help.

Websites
We use www.ikeepbookmarks.com/irondalecommunityschool
All of our teachers can contribute to it - it's a fast and easy way to share resources!
Diigo for Education
Diigo, a social bookmarking site has extra features for teachers. It is much more than a place to store bookmarks! You can join group of other educators and share resources. I suggest you take a tour.
You can share your bookmarks with a simple link also. Here is the link to my library.

I can't believe I have two sites to contribute that I haven't seen listed.

www.eclipsecrossword.com Free crossword making software. Powerful printing options, and you can make html puzzles for your webpage.
www.quizlet.com I saw this one listed already, but just a plug. It's the BEST flashcard website out there. You can join groups, or search for word lists that others have created. Top notch.

gFlashcards is very good alternative to Quzilet. You can create your own images and audio flashcards for free.
