Find old newspaper articles in Google News Archive - search by newspaper or topic; newspaper listing gives the number of issues and date range available; great for primary sources
Inspired picture writing - choose a picture, then drag and drop words from the bottom to create your writing related to the picture. When you are finished you can save it to your computer, email it, blog it or share through social media.
Great resources from the Iowa Area Education Agencies - web links for technology, assistive technology, autism, behavior resources, literary, common core and more.
Tutorial and project centered around searching and evaluating web resources. Also addresses plagiarism, copyright and source citation. Great tool to use with students as a refresher or an actual project. (Since this is on Atomic Learning, you will need to login for full access.)
All of the best K-5 online, interactive, educational games and simulations in one place! Covers all content areas plus art, music, typing, holidays, spanish and teacher tools. Great for interactive whiteboards or individual computers.
18 WWII audio clips including both speeches and war related sounds. You can link back to the audio clip, but they cannot be downloaded. Would work great in digital presentations like Prezi, Glogster and ThingLink.
World War II audio clips that teachers and students can embed into their projects and presentations to enhance learning. Audio clips include war sounds, speeches, songs/music and more
Needing images for a project or presentation? When you do a basic Google search you can get thousands of pictures, but they are not all fair game for use in your project or presentation. Many of them are copyright protected and are not free to use even for an educational project or presentation. (I'll write more on this in a future post.) The video below will show you how to search for images on Google based on their usage rights.
This would be a great video to share with your students prior to them looking for images to use for a class project.
Once you have your image, don't forget to give credit to your source. The best format I have seen is as follows:
Source: "image name," site published on, user/artist, Creative Commons License (if applicable), comma and URL
