Smithsonian Educators Website:

http://www.si.edu/Educators

This website has some great links to tons of resources--lesson plans, hands-on activities, experiments, etc. I think that the most interesting and valuable thing about this website is the fact that it promotes cultural awareness, understanding, and acceptance. The individual links on the site are organized based on subject and are standards based. This site provides such a rich collection of unique and challenging activities that would be so much fun to do in the classroom.

This site is useful if you are teaching primary grades. There are tons of games that are organized based on curriculum and subjects and are a great way to get kids to use technology for educational purposes.

I've noticed that students love to be on the computer and play games. Sometimes these games aren't very education so I've told students to play education directed games for half the time and then allow them to have free time afterward. Eventually students use their free time to explore more educated directed sites
