Thinkfinity

I was just reminded of a really cool site. It's called Thinkfinity, which is the new version of Marco Polo, if any of you knew that site. It's sponsored by Verizon Foundation and affiliated with NEA, ISTE, and Partnership for 21st Century Skills. The site is partnered with ReadWriteThink, Illuminations, Xpeditions, and Science Netlinks, to name a few.
http://Thinkfinity.org makes it easy for educators to enhance their classroom instruction with lesson plans, interactive activities, and other online resources. There are free teacher training tutorials and webinars covering topics such as how to use the site and integrating resources into the curriculum to support content specific objectives as well as skills needed to succeed in the 21st century.
I used the site quite a bit when I taught in the computer lab. I especially liked the partner site ReadWriteThink. Start by checking out this partner site http://www.readwritethink.org . Or you could search for resources by a specific subject and grade level. You will find TONS of resources. I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
