Online+Resource+Lists

=Online Resource Lists=

Frequently, we find great web lists that lead us to lots of wonderful resources. There are so many available now, that keeping track of the lists is a challenge. Here are a few that have some great resources worth investigating!

====Fileguru Thank you Holly for this immense list of resources! Some are free, some are not. This list still needs exploration. Categories based on education, and then kids are appear in the left column.====

====Pointless Sites Okay, some of them are pointless, but some are educational too! (science, math, art and music are in there: i.e. Pi Song at @http://www.vvc.edu/ph/TonerS/mathpi.html) These are the kind of things that work as a creative hook! If you can't give the sites to students due to filter blocks, you can always use them in chats.====
