Inspiration at Home

Inspiration is a great resource, the problem is many of our kids don't have it at home. Check out My Webspiration http://www.mywebspiration.com/

Webspiration is afflliated with Inspiration and lets users create free online accounts. Students and teachers can create diagrams and transfer them to outline form at home save them to their online account and access them at school. It even has the option to download and upload the documents to Inspiration 8.

History Wired

History Wired http://www.historywired.si.edu/#Smithsonian Institution's HistoryWired: A few of our favorite things. This experimental site introduces visitors to some of the three million objects held by the National Museum of American History, Behring Center.
This site is great for history research. Students can access information by year or topic.

Spell with flickr

This site is just fun. You can have your kids practice their spelling words or you can insert the words into a blog or your website like I did below.
