Heritage Explorer has hundreds of thousands of British-related images available for free educational use.
You can read more about it at the Kent ICT blog. I’ve also added it to The Best Online Sources For Images.

Agence France Presse has a good interactive infographic on the world’s Food Crisis.
I’ll be adding it to my World History page.

Media Storm is sponsored by The Washington Post and has a wide selection of impressively-produced audio slideshows/videos about current issues.
Some of the audio might be spoken too quickly for many English Language Learners, but the images are striking.
I’ve placed the link on my website under Multimedia Resources From News Outlets.

As I’ve explained in earlier pieces, I periodically post “most popular” lists of websites that I think educators might find useful. Of course, there are a number of ways to gauge “popularity.” I just view these lists as opportunities to check-out some new sites, and find it interesting to see which ones might be particularly “popular.”
A year ago I posted about Scott McLeod’s analysis of the top 50 P-12 Education blogs, and thought newer readers might find it useful for me to share the list again as part of my “Most Popular” series.
I’ll share the top fifteen — at that time (I’m sure the ratings would look different today — perhaps Scott is preparing a new version?) — and you can go to Scott’s blog to see the rest. He used Technorati ratings and other factors to make the determination. His post is worth a visit, and his blog is worth reading regularly:
1. apophenia
2. Weblogg-ed
3. Joanne Jacobs
4. Stephen’s Web
5. Panda’s Thumb
6. 2¢ Worth
7. Cool Cat Teacher Blog
8. Moving at the Speed of Creativity
9. Ewan MacIntosh’s edu.blogs.com
10. Students 2.0
11. Dangerously Irrelevant
12. The Fischbowl
13. Larry Ferlazzo’s Website of the Day
14. Beyond School
15. EdTechTalk

The Power of Green is an online game from Con Edison that shows users how they can reduce energy costs in their house or apartment.
It’s engaging, the language is accessible, and it has very helpful information.
I’m adding it to The Best Sites To Introduce Environmental Issues Into The Classroom.
