Welcome back from what I hope was a wonderful and restful holiday season. I'm sure we'll be having our meeting soon - in the meantime, I was hoping we could all share a "tip of the week" with one another - a cool website, new open-source tool - something amazing that has changed your teaching.
I'd like to share one of my favorites - it's an oldie but a goodie: http://puzzlemaker.discoveryeducation.com/ Puzzlemaker, from Discovery Education, allows both teachers and students to create amazing puzzles in minutes. My students love to make them for one another, or for their kids at home.
I'm just hooked! It is a social bookmarking website. I keep my favorite sites stored there and can access it from any computer online. I can also categorize them so I can search easier (similar to a portaportal, but way cooler since I can also use it as a search engine to find other highly bookmarked websites by category.) I hope I have explained it well. Anyone want to chime in to explain more?

Lisa- I agree, but I have found Diigo (diigo.com) even more exciting because you can do everything you can do with delicious and also organize bookmarks into separate lists ( as in for a particular class) and make a group - as in a class - and add sticky notes and comments. So all members of a class can see what sites are being used for a particular project- and they can make comments and discuss with each other
I now use delicious for my life and Diigo with classes. I have started a list to share with the MARTI group and have sent an invitation (I am a privacy nut, so it is not open to public). However- I am fumbling around and am not sure that the invite I sent hooks you up to the MARTI list of bookmarks I have made. Anyone who has a clue should feel free to help me out! I think Diigp may be the perfect way for us to share online treasures.

I have used both Delicious and Puzzlemaker(that Margie mentioned in the original post). I have found Delicious to be a great resource since I can access it from any computer, not just the one that I happened to use if I had just bookmarked the same site. I used it a lot when I was looking for certain things for professional development opportunities and also for my ESL classes. It is very useful! Originally, when I learned about it in the Web 2.0 online class, I thought that would be the least used thing of any of the tools we explored, but guess what? I have used it more than many of the other tools! It really beats all the little scraps of paper I used to have around on my computer stand. : ) Especially if I am looking months later for some site that I really liked but didn't have time at that moment to explore it more. That's the problem with technology. It is just so ever-changing and hard to keep up. Ramsey, I'll have to look into Diigo. I tried to post a reply to you a while ago on the Marti,but for some reason the system wouldn't allow it. I'm with you on the privacy issues. That is why I am not a fan of blogging or other such things.
The Puzzlemaker site is a good one. My son especially likes word search and it is great for that, no matter what subject, you can type in your word list and it will generate a puzzle. One site that I used a lot when my son was just beginning to read is http://www.educationalpress.org/ You can make flash cards, game boards, quizzes, etc in many subjects. I haven't used it in a while but I think it is a great site.
Don't know if I have mentioned mathtv.com before, but I find this useful in my Plato lab when students just don't understand the tutorial in Plato. This site has an instructor and student roles, you can choose the type of math you need help on and watch a brief video explanation. This is helpful when the students are working at home and need extra help, or if I am really busy with many other students. It would also be great for tutors who might be a little rusty on some of their math skills.

Here's my new Tip of the Week! The kids and I are doing a unit on Jules Verne for homeschool - they are watching "Journey to the Center of the Earth" with Brendan Frasier, which really pumped them up. I went searching for an online lit site that would allow us to read the original Verne text for free. After trying out a few, I found DailyLit - here is the homepage: http://www.dailylit.com/home
You can control how much of the text is sent to students. Makes great assignments for an online or hybrid class. DailyLit appears to have tons and tons of free literature available. Have any of you used it before? Let me know what you think...
To those of you who told us about delicious.com - thanks so much! My Computer Apps students complained of not having bookmarks available at school, so I told them about delicious.com. They LOVE IT!!!

Great site Margie! I just saved it in Delicious. So many good books online there. I think I would like to use it for accessing books for my son who often has allergic reactions to used books. Thanks.
Have you ever been to Librivox? It is a site where there are downloadable audio versions of books in the public domain. I noticed Journey to the Center of the Earth it there, albeit long http://librivox.org/a-journey-to-the-interior-of-the-earth-by-jules-v... There is an older version of the movie that my husband and son watch every year that is pretty good as well.

Oh, that's awesome. We'll have to get the older version (I think 1958) as well. We've been watching some REALLY old silent movies with Buster Keaton as well as some classics from the 30's and 40's. One of their favorite movies is "Twelve Angry Men" from 1957. TCM has a Silent Sunday feature.
Our next victim is "Pride & Prejudice". The recent Kiera Knightly movie is a wonderful adaptation. Even my husband loved it.
Anybody else have great sites for audio or text free downloads???

I highly recommend making your own mp3s - very easy with Audacity (and there's a nice tutorial at lbrivox.org on how to make mp3s at http://librivox.org/about-recording/ .
I have been recording short pieces for low level readers and putting them on mp3s and CDs, whichever works best for the student. And for some students who are practicing reading aloud ( ESL folks or family literacy students practicing reading for their kids), they can read a book and make their own mp3s. Very empowering.

For those not on the read/write listserv (which is GREAT),I have found this site wonderful not just for esl folks: makebeliefscomix.com-
and be sure to click on the Billztreasurechest and go to http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/How-to-Play/Educators/ for more info. A great idea and great fun- and no, I do not let my sts use "great" over and over. It's getting late...

Thanks for all the awesome tips. Delicious and diigo are WONDERFUL - students and staff are thrilled to bring bookmarks whereever they go.
My lastest love is Picasa Web Albums. Amazing to be able to store pics safely online, and incredibly easy to share. Works especially well with Picasa for uploading.
