1. Edmodo
Edmodo is a wonderful website to use with intermediate aged students. It's a safe and secure way to use the idea of Facebook within the classroom.

Within my own classroom, I've used Edmodo to post questions to students about our read aloud, likes/dislikes and classroom decisions. I love that students can personally message me if they have a question and that parents can even create their own accounts.
2. Tagxedo
Tagxedo is a fantastic website to use to turn your words into word art for any classroom project. My class loved using this website to create word art for their biography presentations. It's very user friendly and simple enough for intermediate students to use on their own.
3. BrainPOP
BrainPOP is a great website to use when looking for kid-friendly informational videos. Tim and Moby (the main characters) take educational topics and turn them into exciting videos that capture a given concept in just a few minutes. BrainPOP does require a subscription to have access to ALL of the videos, but they do offer free ones. In fact, BrainPOP offers a featured video for FREE! This video changes day to day and normally corresponds with what's going on in the world or the special meaning of that day (Labor Day, Lincoln's Birthday and so on).
