I normally use another site for this.. but then today I found this awesome table (and there is a pdf download available as well) THis is the best collection of the rules in short that I have found. Do remember to cite to model for students (even though it might not be required by the letter of the law) []
 * Educational Fair Use**

=Voki= [] Creates embeddable characters for your wikis, blogs and other spaces.

This site is super cool and it has subtitles if needed so it might work well with your ELL students. It does not offer the option to embedd to your own site but you can download to an Ipod Touch. THis one I watched and liked. (Note: the player disappeared but once I started playing it, it was fine.. ) []
 * Math Snacks**

[|Just the main site: http://www.mathsnacks.org]

These are not high tech technology but they are foldables to learn about math and fractions. You print them out and have the students make little books to review concepts. I think it is clever and kids may find it fun. []
 * Foldable Books**

THis person does a fabulous job of reviewing sites and including different tutorials that are free on the web. I have found some great sites here. They do a lot of science sites and a lot of elementary sites. I have enjoyed the math sites they have chosen as well. []
 * Ilearn technology Blog -**

THis site has a ton of practice games for math. Many of my students in Norman find useful things here. []
 * Math Nut**

This is a program you must download but we talked about it yesterday, it lets you turn pictures into comic book style. It used to come on a mac as trial version. Now it costs 30 dollars or so.. If you have interest in comic book presentation - this is worth the money. A nice program. IT runs on PC but user ratings say its a processor hog. []
 * Comic Life**

This is a free online comic strip maker. []
 * Strip generator**

Another program that costs money about $100 but it allows you to record a video of the mouse clicks you do on screen. []
 * Camtasia**

[|http://camstudio.org -]free version for pc.

This is free drawing software. I was having a hard time download this in my hotel room. Others may have more experience with this. []
 * GIMP - Free drawing software**

media type="custom" key="5180333"**Mad Libs** I don't know if this a US only thing.. but these are very popular with children and help with understanding parts of speech. @http://www.madlibs.com/category/funstuff/ Please be careful of the MadLIBS' rambunctious booty (pirate treasure, of course)

=Wordle= This website creates visual pictures of words that are entered. It is very interesting to put in famous speeches and see what words are repeated etc.. [|http://www.wordle.net]
