Disposable Income Calculator

Seems like this disposable income calculator could be used in personal finance or home economics classes. Students would need some help filling in their costs (rent, groceries, etc), but it might give them a picture of how much that latte at Starbucks costs.

An Oldie But Goodie

Ricci Adams' musictheory.net is an amazing site. I have been using it with music students for many year. Think of this as a bit of nostalgia.

Picnik

Spent some time this evening playing with Picknik What a great tool. I can finally stop begging my school district to put a simple photo editor on my computer. It is really slick. It can crop, resize, you name it. Some creative tools as well. Great for teachers who feel limited by the Microsoft PhotoEditor.

Plotbot

Plotbot uses wiki technology to allow people (students) to collaboratively write screenplays. It is free and is another great Web 2.0 tool for the classroom. I think students would have a lot of fun creating screenplays together. The tool also takes care of some of the most difficult aspects of writing and assessing screenplays as a group (who contributed, a final document, etc).

Old Time Radio Broadcasts

OTR.Network provides thousands of Old Time Radio Broadcasts in Real Audio format. May be nice for radio history lessons in Broadcasting classes.
