Flashcards in a Flash *knee slapper*

I've often needed flashcards for something or other. Quizlet is an awesome free site where many people have done all the hard work of creating flash cards for you! In addition, the website has built in games and various methods of studying the flashcards online if printing offline is not an option. I'm excited about using this site this year!

Best Free Create Your Own Worksheets

School Express is not like many of the "free" webistes for educators, as this site has significantly usable and really free material. The Create Your Own Worksheets Generator, for example, is impressive. It looks plain enough, but it creates clean, full sized worksheets that you customize. No ads, etc. (Which is hard to find.....). There are, of course, paid options as well......

The 50 States Thematic Unit is really really impressive.

Word Wall and Flash Card Generator is also pretty neat.

Voki-There are many possibilities!

Bookmarklets-Your Ticket to Browser "Extensions" Without Extensions

Ever needed to do something at school online, but your IT Department would not let you install browser extensions? Marklets.com is your lifesaver. Extensions written as bookmarks need only be added to your bookmark bar or to your bookmark collection and with a simply click, can be used to do whatever a browser extension might do such as screen capture, password handling, etc.

If you have not played with bookmarklets yet, do it!
