RefSeek - Reference Directory

RefSeek is a site that I found that is a great place to start when looking for information or links. The site's start page is just a simple listing of categories (see above).

The site has categories from dictionaries, encyclopedias, and health & medical to multimedia and teacher resources. When you click on a category, you are brought to another page that has a list of web sites and descriptions of them. There are some great resources for each category.

The site is in Beta and doesn't have a huge number of resources for each category, but it is a great starting point when you are looking for resources.

NASA - NASA eClips™

NASA eClips is another great site by NASA for educators. The site contains short video clips that can be used to engage students and excite them about different topics, explain a topic, or generate a discussion.

The videos are sorted by grade level (K-5, 6-8, 9-12) and have educator resources available. There is also a Teacher-to-Teacher blog and a teacher toolbox to help teachers use the video clips in class.

The videos are well done and relevant to many different subject areas. Give them a try.
