Assign-a-Day
http://assignaday.4teachers.org

This FREE tool from HPR*TEC is designed to enhance teacher and student communication through an on-line teacher-managed calendar. Teachers create a calendar for each of their classes and add assignments for the students to view. Students view their teachers’ calendars in order to see assignments for classes they might have missed, or to get an overview of the class.

This is only for school, activity and class calendars and others will be removed. Also, calendars with no entries are deleted within 2 weeks.

Calendars are open to whoever chooses to look at them, no passwords. They can also be seen in a "print" version. You can link right to the calendar from your webpage or send the students and parents to the main page to search by number or teacher name.

SURFING THE NET WITH KIDS
Each week at Barbara Feldman's Surfing the Net with Kids site, she picks a single topic (such as Rainforests, Hubble Space Telescope, Mozart, Dolphins, or Plate Tectonics) and chooses the best sites to explore. The entries are dated so you can tell when each resource list has been updated.
