Welsh teacher, Catherine Murphy, wrote to me about her site, Zut!:
“Zut! provides a comprehensive set of interactive activities for French
teachers and learners, featuring more than 400 exercises, over 100 of which
have audio samples of native French speakers. It is an easily navigated
resource, organised for each year of study and includes exercises for the
interactive whiteboard.”

New South Wales teacher, Brian Shaw, wrote about this popular textbook?s
online component:
?It is a superb site that deals with the history and applications of
computing. It contains interactive applets that demonstrate very clearly
many of the processes of a basic computer from the operation of a CPU to
Logic Gates.? It is a really great site that I use with classes from year 9
to Year 12 (Mainly Year 11 and 12 though)?

Mike Johnson of Lexington, KY wrote about his site, Technology Assisting
Literacy Knowledge.
The site is full of great literacy activities that incorporate technology.
The activities can be searched by content area, software application, or
keyword. These activities are also linked to the Literacy First Components
and to Fayette County’s Classroom Literacy Guide. (These guidelines can be
easily adapted to local curricula…)
The site is presented by the Instructional Technology Department of Fayette
County Public Schools in Lexington.

An anonymous tip pointed me to VoyCabulary.com:
This site allows you to put in a url, choose the action you want (ie:
dictionary) and then click on Process and it will bring up the web site with
EVERY SINGLE WORD linked to a dictionary! You know how sometimes you find a
great web site for kids to use except that it might have a few too many
difficult words for some of the kids? When they come across an unknown word,
they click on it and another window opens up with a definition of the word.
If you don’t want to use a dictionary, you could also request a thesaurus,
acronyms, or changing the word to a different language if you have ESL
students.
