Newseum Front Pages - http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/flash/
The Newseum displays almost 800 daily newspaper front pages in their original, unedited form from around the world. You click on points on a map to see the front pages. This is a GREAT way to get different perspectives of current events from all over the globe.
KidBlog.org – http://www.kidblog.org
I just ran across this yesterday. This is a protected site that can allow your students to blog within the context of your classroom. What’s nice about it is that the teacher can moderate everything from actual posts to all the comments. Each student can have their own blog with varying privacy protections.
If you are interested in taking writing to the next level, this might be a great platform to try. If you ARE interested, let me know and I will help you set one up. EASY. FREE. SAFE.

Math Magic – an iPhone App - http://appshopper.com/education/math-magic
Here is a “FREE only for today” iPhone application that can help students with their math facts. My 4th grade boy could use this application to help him with division fast facts that they do at school. If you have an iPhone and an elementary-aged child, download this today to take advantage of the free offer. Normally, it’s $.99 which is still a great bargain.
