Resource round-up: Get thinking!

Think about current events. Each week, Education World presents a news story for teachers to share and discuss with their students. Stories are chosen based on their timeliness and interest to students. Click here to view past and current events.

Train your brain into shape with mental exercises from Lumosity.com.

Get animated with BrainPOP, an interactive site with lessons and short, animated videos that help explain difficult concepts. Content is subscription based, but with tools for educators and teachers--all aligned to state standards--this site is worth checking out.

Give your brain a rest by bookmarking your favorite K-12 educational resources on the Web at Schoonoodle. You can share, find, and rate resources, all in one spot! The highest-rated content rises to the top of the page.
