Videos as well. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82059 This site contains a collection of fully developed high school curriculum modules that use the Internet in significant ways. There are currently 15 modules in Mathematics and 6 modules in Science; also, there are approximately two dozen additional modules that have been created by instructors and/or Education students.The learning modules here are web-based, technology intensive lessons focusing on mathematics and science in an applied context. They have been developed for teachers, by teachers, aligned with the Illinois State Learning Standards and the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Standards. Some of the lessons are designed to last over several days, some only for a class period. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=82058 The MSTE lessons site contains a collection of excellent high school/lower college division math lessons (and a limited number of science lessons) that use the Internet in significant ways. The lessons have been developed with descriptions of the problem, connections to standards, examples of use, references, and more. Java source codes are often available. The Office for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education (MSTE) is a division of the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=274001 The Wolfram Demonstrations Project is an open-code resource that uses dynamic computation to illuminate concepts in science, technology, mathematics, art, finance, and a remarkable range of other fields. Its daily-growing collection of interactive illustrations is created by Mathematica users from around the world, who participate by contributing innovative Demonstrations. The free Mathematica Player is required to view the demmonstrations. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89896 A collection of applets that cover a wide range of math topics. Most contain downloadable source code. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=225943 This is an excellent website offering not only educational online games but also shared online activities, quizzes, tools for quiz creations, class web pages, online roster, grade book, surveys, etc.  It also provides templates for creating different types of online activities such as hangman, jumbled words, ordered list, pop-ups, rags to riches (a quiz-show style trivia game), scavenger hunt, flashcards, matching, etc.  It's a fee-based educational online service.  It also offers a free 30-day trial.  It covers more than 150 categories for learners of all ages from elementary through college students. The categories include languages, math, science, biology, physics, chemistry, genetics, astronomy, medicine, technology, economics, history, etc.  Results and feedbacks are provided immediately right after the games or activities are over.  It's fun and motivating. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=300557 University Library of Regensburg offers the "Electronic Journals Library," which contains over 25,000 titles, of which over 10,500 journals can be read free-of-charge. There are journal articles in the following areas: Agriculture, Archeaology, Civil engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Art, Computer Science, Education, Economics, History, Mathematics, Media, Medicine, Linguistics, Philosophy, Sociology, Science,Technology and many more.
