ReadWriteThink's Student Materials use free browser plug-ins to provide high-quality, interactive resources for the K–12 classroom.
More specifically, this part of the site provides online interactive student materials that the children can use to create and apply to their literacy learning. Each activity has a link to an online learning tool along with an explanation of how you might utilize the tool. An example is as follows:

My favorite microworld is in sociology. I have one copy of SimSocieties on my computer. Throughout last semester I had students create their own society. This allowed them to see and create a society in which they needed to know all of the elements of an successful society. The kids loved it. Once they finish their society and "run" it for a week, each group gets to present their society on the projector. I assess their work through their presentation. They have to explain what worked and what was unsuccessful, then they must explain why they chose to create their society the way that they did.

A multimedia assignment that I have is through blogs. Each week I post a psychology article on our blog site. The students must respond to the article, then each student must respond to at least one other students post. I assess each students articles and responses. This process is great because it allows me read the post before they are actually posted to the site.
