I love http://www.portaportal.com/. Whenever I find a great website I add it to my Portaportal account and then wherever I am I can log in to my account and there is link to the website. If you want to see my account, log in as a guest. Your favorite or ones that you want to share with others.
Go to http://www.portaportal.com/ , log in under Guest Access, karenliebert.
You can create different categories, subcategories. I use it when students are researching a topic and I can list appropriate, reliable websites. It avoids a great deal of wasted time, when students google something and end up using Wikipedia!
Several of our teachers use it a lot. They bookmark it or create an icon on their classroom computers and the students log onto the teachers account as a guest. There is a way to add to add icons (see the one I added in the category, Media Skills). One of our second grade teachers differentiates instruction this way. She can tell Johnny to go to the sites with the smiley face, or the thumbs up icon.
Try it and I'm sure you will find many uses for it.
