Brain POP
http://www.brainpop.com/

If you want a better way to learn instead of looking at books for information you could go to BrainPOP and watch a movie about it and have quizzes about what you learn. You can watch two movies per computer every day without paying a single penny, but if you want to watch more, you have to pay a subscription fee. You have to have Flash to watch the movies. There are many categories such as Health, Science, Technology, Math, and English.

Internet Detectives is a publication produced by Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) middle school students as a resource for other K-12 students. It is an ongoing, cooperative effort of middle school Social Studies classrooms. Students find, evaluate and recommend Internet resources related to the curriculum. This project is supported by MMSD's Teaching and Learning Department and Library Media Services.

These Internet resources were evaluated on the basis of Site Selection Guidelines. Questions and comments regarding specific sites can be sent to the classroom teachers listed with the student author and school.

Questions or comments regarding the Internet Detectives project can be sent to Barb Spitz at bspitz@madison.k12.wi.us or (608) 663-1976.
