I am moderator of a project which many students from around the world have enjoyed. "The Day I Was Born" online project
guides students to find interesting and important information about what was going on in the world on the date of their birth. There are 12 links to different websites (including The History Channel, The New York Times, etc.) as well as audio clips from the "Discovery Channel". The project is suitable for students in grades 4 through 12. It includes content standards as well as printable students handouts. Collaboration is encouraged. There are no fees required to join or use the project.
"The Day I Was Born" is cross-curricular, heavy on reading as a research skill but also includes material dealing with Science, Social Studies, Math as well as fun stuff such as television, music, and movies. Feedback from both teachers and students indicates that the project has motivated students to read and learn--everyone likes to learn about themselves. Visit the website for more details. It's at
http://community.bigchalk.com/schools/dayborn
. Teachers do not have to join the project to use it with their students but I extend a warm invitation to all to join us in collaboration.

The Xpeditions site is designed to address students with different learning
styles. For example, material on Family XPeditions is presented in a
text-based format, but there are also hands-on activities, such as art
projects, photogalleries, as well as video and audio files. The idea is to
present similar material in a variety of formats so students that would
benefit from a multi-modal approach to education will have many options.

Also check out the Wisconsin Assistive Technology web site at

Another good way to use one or two computers in a classroom is creating
interactive tests. Check out Hot Potatoes.
