Thinkfinity
One of my favorite sites that I use over and over again is the Illuminations site (from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics), a strictly math website. However, there is a partnership with www.thinkfinity.org , a website striving to improve student achievement in the traditional classroom. The organization has partnerships with ARTSEDGE, Smithsonian History Explorer as well as ReadWriteThink. The site is very interdisciplinary using a variety of media - from regular lesson plans to pod casts to video. There are "Family Literacy" lesson plans: one is a video from ReadWriteThink on how to help a teen prep for an interview to a pod cast on Orangutan U from Science Net Links. The common threads throughout the site are a focus on literacy, use of various media forms not just traditional lessons and an interdisciplinary focus. I hope that you can find something useful.

Thanks for highlighting resources from ReadWriteThink. We are very proud of what we have to offer on the site! If you are interested, we pay educators in the field to publish lesson plans and share teaching ideas. Let me know if you would like more information.
