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.

10 Best Science Musemums:
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 Institutionwww.si.edu
“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.
