I like the idea of using pictures on the active board so I used 2 sites that might be used as an enhancement to a science lesson:
http://www.hulu.com/national-geographic-environment?c=Green is a very good environmental site with some excellent pictures.http://www.blinkx.com/videos/phases+of+the+moon. This site had interesting videos created by students. I think when students see what other students have created it helps them to realize they can also do pictures and videos. Hot linking is a great quick way to bring sources up. I have enjoyed finding additional places to find those quick videos that sometimes help link learning to seeing.
That National Geographic video on droughts was awesome! The only thing that worries me about some of these video sources is the commercials that come along with them (like for Abilify antidepressant). I guess someone has to pay the bills :-(
