This area has sites and resources for planning as well as downloads that may be useful. Also, I am including a few “teacher” humor items as well as some personal tools, such as Library Thing. The “Watch List” are sites to keep an eye on as they are often updated with good information. 

Also, any site with a star (*) after it means that it is referenced in the main blog or the “Site of the Day” blog. To locate the blog entry, click the “Blog Index” button on the left, find the link in question, and then click on the link to go to my blog entry.
