This browser add-in reduces clutter and visual distractions on a page. It enables text readers such as Click Speak (Firefox) to work better. It could also be used to strip iffy ads from websites teachers want to use with students. In addition, Paul Hamilton reports that it also strips clutter from pages you're importing to Kurzweil using the KESI Virtual Printer. Wow!

Unbelievably good video with rap. The Week in Rap provides a weekly summary of current events in a hip-hop music video for teens and students. If you're bothered by the mostly American content, issue a challenge to your students to create the Canadian version. Recommended by Kelly Tenkley at iLearn Technology.

Excellent engaging and educationally sound instructional videos. This science site for grades 1-6 also has great accessibility options including visual, auditory and keyboard shortcuts. I learned about this from Paul Hamilton's October 20, 2008 post. According to Paul, Many of the activities include captioned video where the "captions" can be read aloud. Other activities use diagrams and interactive images to present material. All text can be read aloud, and can be repeated upon request.

Incredible collection of flash to teach middle and high school math. The flash is interactive, allowing you to change a variable such as the value of an exponent and then see how that changes the value in an equation. For example, kids can experiment by altering the value of exponents to learn why we keep the base and add exponents when we're multiplying two powers with the same base. Jim teaches in Alberta.
