I've compiled a few great reading and writing sites for students at http://digitaldialogue.pbworks.com. The 20+ sites are well annotated, with suggested lesson connections and additional content resources.

You might also want to check out my students' electronic portfolios archived at http://rlasharespace2012.wikispaces.com. Shows how by using student codes and simple tables, all work can be easily organized. The Teacher Notes page at that site explains each assignment in some detail. Our class site, which acts as a portal for all other assignments, is also frequently used.

Finally, I archived some free resources and blogs for teachers at another wiki. These are materials most often requested by teachers after reading one of my blogs or attending a workshop.

Thanks for compiling these sites!
