Other Time Saving Sites
Here is a hodge podge of sites to help you save time and find exciting ways to engage your students. Face it, we need to work smarter not harder. Keep in mind one site is not suited for all. Depending on your grade level and your subject, you may love one site and hate another. Once you find a lesson plan site you like, email it to yourself and add it to your favorite bookmark list.

Schoolnotes.com is a free community service that allows you to create notes for homework and class information and post them on the web in seconds. As more and more families come online it is an excellent way for teachers to create a web presence without the hassle of webpage design. Note: you need an email to register but it only takes a minute to sign on and post your first note.

[My favorite] Quia is a free service that allows you to:
create games and quizzes over the Internet and share them with others,
give online quizzes and track students' scores,
create your own home pages for posting assignments, class schedules, and links to your favorite websites.
When you create an activity on Quia, you get your own personal URL (web address) that you can share with anyone
that takes you right to your creations. You can even have teams of students create the activities. They are ready instantly and then have them swap online to play.
Create and print customized word search,
crossword,math squares,cryptograms, and math puzzles using your word lists
This one you have to download but it's FREE.
The freeware Hot Potatoes suite includes six applications,
enabling you to create interactive multiple-choice, short-answer,
jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill
exercises for the World Wide Web.
This FREE service is based around a less powerful version of the remarkable Anagram Genius software. Great to help you create ice breaker or warm up activity. Use names of people, places, or terms and give your students' brain cells a challenge.
Can view online and download applets to create your own. Check out the samples and if you
