 * **[[file:FacebookTemplate.DOC]] profile page. Allows students to create a Facebook profile for any important person from history. I normally also have them make three posts on their "wall" from other people during that time in history. K.S., Dent Middle**
 * ===Symbaloo.com to organize websites into one website. Very easy for the children to use and access. I just made it my homepage so when the students click on the internet it takes them right to the website, and from there they can choose which site they would like to go to. J.H., Conder Elementary===
 * ===One of my favorite websites for SmartBoard activities would be http://www.exchange.smarttech.com/index.html. J.H., Conder Elementary===
 * ===I also enjoy doing graphic organizers with my students on http://my.hrw.com/nsmedia/intgos/html/igo.htm. I am sure there are other sites though that offer the same things. This is great when I want to show something to the whole group before they go and complete one themselves. J.H., Conder Elementary===
 * **http://www.writingfix.com/Picture_Book_Prompts.htm Great site for integrating the Six Traits and showing our students the model of good writing. C.W., Bridge Creek Elementary**
 * ===For teaching Open Court, this is a GREAT website for resources. http://blackboard.aacps.org/portal/tconnect/_elem/indexocr.htm It's divided by grade level and unit and has lots of websites, Smartboard templates and general game templates as well! T.C., Conder Elementary===
 * ===Some great graphic organizers: http://www.edina.k12.mn.us/concord/teacherlinks/sixtraits/sixtraits.html M.D., Dent Middle===
 * ===Film version of "The Monkey's Paw," useful for compare/contrast essay===
 * ===The website I was introduced to at a Flip Video Class is Tuxpi (http://www.tuxpi.com). You can upload a photo and quickly turn it into a wanted poster, or alter it with special effects. It is great for use in making opening slides on different projects. S.R., Rice Creek Elementary===
