I have explored some of these resources - language, autism, avatars - before. I can see how they would be very useful in my classroom. It is just getting used to navigating through them and being proficient at that navigation.

[] Extremely funny site where you can upload a picture and sound. It allows you to manipulate with ease. Very funny site. Kids love it. I have my favorite pencils (with faces, of course) that I would love to do this to. I'd use it to give the kids directions; I bet they'd pay more attention. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks2bitesize/english/spelling_grammar/spelling/play.shtml I have used this interactive prefix and suffix activity. There are writing, reading, science, and "maths" links. Watch out for the British English. (M.Y. 10/13/10)
