I have added many new links for curriculum integration content and many new resources for Biology, Chemistry, and History. For those of you new to Delicious, please use my links to explore the many possibilities Delicious offers, from sharing links with a colleague, to monitoring your student’s research, to finding great websites recommended by others. Here is the link to my main Delicious page, but then use the tags search to find those links that will be most helpful to your curriculum.

Students can also add written responses. Foreign language teachers, lower school teachers, and english teachers will particularly like this site, but history, science and math teachers can create interesting Voicethread slideshows. The site has tutorials and suggestions for using a voicethread in the classroom Try it.
