The Apple has a great post on how to use a new search engine called Middle Spot. This innovative tool splits your search results window in two with text on one side and thumbnail previews of the sites on the other side. Scroll in and out of the thumbnails and save the sites you like best on the included workpad. Search the web, news, Amazon, images or Twitter.

An alternative to the mind mapping tool DropMind, (mentioned below), is myWebspiration. I first learned about this at a school in-service training day. It is in public beta, but certainly has lots of potential.

iLearn, via Larry Ferlazzo, has a review of My English Images. It is an ELL/ESL/EFL site that has pictures and worksheets that can be used in the classroom. It even has some downloadable games to play.

Finally for today, FreeTech4Teachers have reviewed AbcYa. This educational games site has been around for a little while now, but if you are a K-5 teacher who has not tried it, then it is well worth checking out. Math Man is a personal favorite of mine...
