The Best Resources for Middle Schools
Show Document - Show Document is a great site that allows teachers and students to conduct free web meetings to share documents with one another in real time. It is a free service that lets you explore Google
Maps together, surf the web with peers or students, share and comment on a Word or PDF document, or even use a virtual whiteboard space to conduct "meetings". Students can chat even conduct a live chat while the teacher hosts an open whiteboard that all the users of the site can access by entering a simple access code which the organizer of the “meeting” gets. This is a very simple way to collaborate online with other teachers and groups of students. There is unlimited space on the virtual whiteboard and you can always save a PDF of all the work before leaving a session. This is a great web tool that is easy to use and can be very valuable in any classroom for teachers and students alike. (

Creative Commons Search - Creative Commons Search is a site that allows students to look for creative commons branded material which they can use in classroom projects. Middle School students can search though
Google Images, Flikr photos, music, and even TV clips that are free for use anywhere in your classroom or on the web. In addition to offering students (and their teachers) tons of multimedia assets to incorporate in their school work, this site helps to teach about how to give proper accreditation, and what a a copyright or creative common license is all about and why it exists. A nice resource for teachers and students alike, especially in a time where it is sometimes too easy to simply copy and paste pictures and information without giving credit or asking permission.

Easy Bib - Easy Bib is a powerful and very useful tool that helps students (and teachers) properly cite in MLA and APA formats for formal reports. This site even allows you to enter a book's ISBN number and then automatically fills
in the information for you. It can print the information out, export it to a Word Document or PDF, and even email it to you. A great tool that makes the research much easier for Middle School students and their teachers. (
