Flashcard Machine I use this link to make online flashcards for my students. We've used it to review everything from novel study vocabulary to word parts review. (elaine)

Save the Words [|Spelling City]

Arts / Music / Performance
Dallas Symphony Orchestra Kids Page - I love this site. It is engaging and friendly. They offer resources to students and to teachers that teach about the love of music. My favorite is the music baseball game. I use the listening part of the site to teach students about instruments we don't have in our band yet, and they love to play the games (secretly it teaches music history and theory...but don't tell). This link suggested by Evan Canel.

Other / Multi-Disciplinary
Read Write Think - Has great ideas for all subjects. Has interactive tools (under student materials) to use while projecting using an LCD projector, an interactive board or something you do in the classroom.
