Resources floating on the net!

Since I mentioned on the discussion board that I only have the bare minimum of books and most are defaced with student drawn male anatomy (from a previous teacher's class! I might add!) - I get most of my information for my students online - some are biology, some chemistry, some physics, some environmental science. 
Here is a short list of my favorites in no particular order:

I just got Skype in my classroom and am beginning to do discussion forums with my students and professionals that work in the fields that my students are studying about.  I also signed on to Skype's classroom to classroom where they can do collaborative projects with classrooms all over the globe.  I just love it!! all you need is a single laptop with a webcam connected to a projector and internet access!  My biggest hurdle was getting the school district to allow Skype...I am so excited to start this new adventure with my students!
