Google Search Lesson Plans
Being able to search is a great resource tools when doing all kinds of projects. Using this web page can help your students become Google search Ninjas whether they are just starting out or advance users.
These lessons are conducted around numerous Common Core and other state standards. In addition to the standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical subjects.
These are just a few highlights and you'll find Google Search Education Lessons very helpful. I have been using Google Search Lesson Plans for a few days and love it. They are fun and they keep the attention of the students. These lesson might not be able to accommodate every classroom situation but is a great frame work to get started. The video below shows the power of it.

Rock Their World
I think everyone, teachers and students are tired of the same old same old when it comes to presentations. If you haven't tried anything new to grab your students attention you have to try Prezi. Prezi is an alternative to your plain jane presentations which gives everything a new perspective.
With features like these you can put excitement back into your lessons.
Features:
I personally use Prezi every chance I get. The learning curve is easy and the feature, pan and zoom lets you put Big or little emphasis on your topics. You can even import all different types of media along with its newest feature to import your old powerpoint slides so you don't have to start from scratch.
Speaking of scratch if you don't know were to start there are tons of templates and you can even use already made Prezi's just input your own information. I can not say enough how awesome I think Prezi is and I hope you check it out and see for your self.
If you have any questions let me know. Enjoy...................
