Animations and Classroom Web Resources
Be The Beat - New with the American Heart Association is an Interactive heart and virtual CPR simulation. Students can explore the differences between a healthy and unhealthy heart as well as to see what happens during cardiac arrest. This would be great when you study the circulatory system. 
Medial Animations Library - The University of Pennsylvania has an animations Library of over 200 videos. These are defiantly worth a look before you teach your next science lesson. 
Internet4Classrooms - An organization of excellent and free online Language Arts and Math resources that can be used in the computer lab or in your classroom with your projector. Internet4Classrooms also has some great assessment resources you should explore. I found some percent resources that I am going to use this coming week. 
WolframAlpha - One of Nancy's favorites, WolframApha is an excellent way to search for a quick "facts sheet" for a person or location. A quick search of Grand Rapids pulls up population, weather, influential people, cost of living and more.
AlphaMaps takes the power of WolframApha and Google Maps and overlays them together. Next time you are looking for some quick fact, try WolframApha and AlphaMaps instead of or in addition to your google search.
