Thanks for these! I am pumped about Kerpoof. Looks like a great introductory site for digital storytelling/movie making.
I would like to add Terra Clues. An amazing mashup of a scavenger hunt/geotagging/google searching/google mapping/websearching. Plus they are edu-friendly with student accounts!

I believe that there was a website that somebody posted on here about reading strategies. There used to be a long response list to this link with other really great websites for literacy. Can anyone help me find that?
