Goodreads | Educator Book Club
OK, I've been toying around with Goodreads, a website that so many librarians have recommended to me. Thus far it looks a bit like blippr although perhaps easier to use. Enjoying it so far. This particular group seems to be for educators.

yWriter is a free, highly rated, novel writing program that I found through a very complimentary review in PC Magazine. It is for the PC.
Just save your file as an RTF with chapter headings and it will import right into ywriter.
Buzzword
The online word processor from Adobe. This is one to watch because of testing and future compatibility with Adobe Air, a "plugin" that will let you take things offline and be online, although the word processor runs in a web browser. We are much closer to this environment.
Little Brother » A word to teachers, librarians, and people who want to donate money to me
If you want a free copy of this book and are a teacher or librarian, follow the instructions on this page. Interesting idea.
This book is by Cory Doctorow about altnernate gaming and this is a novel that argues that hackers and gamers are the USA's "best hope for the future." Download the book for free here, or you can request the book for your school. I haven't read it yet -- have any of you?

Interactive stories website -- great for grades 3-8 and many great samples. This is great for teachers of writing.
Ancient Civilizations
This is a fascinating site to explore ancient civilizations while looking at: cities, religion, technology, trade, writing, or buildings. I could see many fascinating ways to use this tool, however, I keep wishing that having ways for students to add information and thoughts would begin to be a part of the focus of museums -- for indeed preserving how people think and reflect on things such as history is an amazing archival opportunity in itself!
