Online Communities:
Online communities aren't just for Myspace anymore. Places such as National Geographic has on-line communities for students and teacher to collaborate on different topics such as Ocean Life and Our Environment. Online communities give you access to other teachers 24 hours, 7 days per week.
Technology Conferences:
Educational technology conferences offer educators and administrators opportunities to learn how to integrate different technologies across the curriculum while being exposed to the latest hardware, software and successful strategies on student technology use. This article list many different conferences that are available to attend to build on knowledge of technology in the classroom. I personally would love to go to the next one here is AZ.

In this article I found this site to be to the most helpful for my content/grade area! I plan on using it for my classroom.

“Smithsonian for Kids.” Students can explore, discover, and learn about science through activity sheets, idea labs, and more. Have students click on the “Science & Nature” topic for a suite of links to Smithsonian exhibits and activities on anatomy, squids, flight, light, Earth history, and other topics.

The one thing I noticed about this article is that it is 10 years old. A lot has changed in 10 years as far as information being reliable from Internet sources. According to the article, books are a better source than the internet when it comes to historical and complex issues since it is based on the facts from people who have spent many hours researching articles and other documents and who are looking to sell their work to a publisher and not just give it out freely over the internet.
Although electronic media makes life easier in some ways such as locating information quicker, sources keep pointing to book material for quality resources and valid information. Young students today mistakenly believe that everything that is available on the Internet is accurate, but what they do not understand is that a larger percentage of information on the Internet is being published by individuals that have done their own research to find a specfic outcome.
