This site offers links to authors who are willing to Skype to classes that are reading their books in school or for book clubs. Although designed for middle school students, there are also links to authors of adult books.According to the site host, "I started it because I’ve found that virtual author visits are a great way to connect authors and readers, and I realize that many schools facing budget troubles don’t have the option of paid author visits. With that in mind, this is a list of authors who offer free 20-minute Q and A sessions with classes and book clubs that have finished reading one of their books.״

This page is our collection of Native American folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed these stories tribe by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. As well as our collections of tribal legends and legend archives, we also have three pages of comparative legends, first for the stories of the Wabanaki tribes (including the Micmac, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Penobscot, and Abenaki tribes,) second for the stories of the Iroquois tribes (including the Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga tribes,) and third for the stories of the Anishinabe tribes (including the Chippewa, Ottawa, Algonquin, and Potawatomi tribes.) Since this page features primarily the myths and legends of North American Indian tribes, we have also begun a separate collection of Central and South American Indian legends which may be interesting for purposes of comparison. Note that since many children use this site, we have tried to avoid linking to any legends or stories which deal explicitly with sex or contain bad language, including slur words for Native Americans. However, like the folklore of any culture -- including European fairy tales -- there is often violence and bad behavior in American Indian folklore, so please use discretion about sharing them with younger children.

This is an annotated topical index to sciencefiction stories and novels that use good astronomy and is part of the education web pages of the nonprofit Astronomical Society of the Pacific.The listing currently has 195 entries organizedinto 40 categories, ranging from "anti-matter" to "Venus." It includes stories and novels by a number of scientists (some writing under a pseudonym) and by other writers who pay attention to the accuracy of their science. It is not designed as a complete index, but highlights stories that teachers have found particularly useful for making scientific ideas come alive for non-science students.The stories and novels listed deal with suchtopics as the dangers of asteroid impacts and exploding stars, the future exploration of Mars, the fate of travelers who venture close to a black hole, the search for intelligent life in the universe (and what forms it might take), and what it would be like to live among the rings and moons of the outer solar system.

After reading "A Sound of Thunder," students will further investigate the impact of the "butterfly effect" as it pertains to a nonfiction piece (a news story from China) about the dwindling bee population and its effects on the pear industry. The US bee population has dwindled in the last few years, too, and a second video documentary on Colony Collapse Disorder allows students to make inferences and predictions about the impacts of bee loss on the US economy, too.Students will then be able to investigate environmental issues of their own choices and research them using a variety of print and digital research tools. For more specifics, please contact me at connie_young@kernhigh.org or the email address listed here.

The Max Hunter Collection is an archive of almost 1600 Ozark Mountain folk songs, recorded between 1956 and 1976. A traveling salesman from Springfield, Missouri, Hunter took his reel-to-reel tape recorder into the hills and backwoods of the Ozarks, preserving the heritage of the region by recording the songs and stories of many generations of Ozark history. The site provides audio files for the songs, with text transcription, and some musical transcriptions. The site is searchable.
