I wanted to give you a heads-up about a site that offers a chance for students to do some real science. The Quake-Catcher Network offers a chance for you and your students to actually be a part of an earthquake detection network. The web site also includes science resource downloads about earthquakes, including PDFs aimed at grades K-12.

There’s a lot of talk recently about all the electronic and digital versions of books that you can find on the web. I decided to create a resource list of these electronic books to share with the parents. Some of the books have pictures and some do not. There are some that are appropriate for preschool, elementary, middle and high school as well as college age students. The list was created to give any child that can’t read in a traditional way, access to more literacy.
