To Excel in the Classroom
Excellent resource for using Excel in ES-MS classes. Lessons, sample spreadsheets, and links to data sets are useful. Converted baseball salary spreadsheet to Filemaker format - has some possible applications for teaching power of databases.

The Artist's Toolkit | Minneapolis Institute of Arts
The description of this site says it is geared toward early ES students, but I think it could be used in art classes of all ages.

American Rhetoric: The Top 100 American Speeches of the 20th Century
Fascinating site. Thre is something very powerful about hearing these speeches and not just reading the transcripts. The "audio on demand" site is a good example of maximizing unique features of the web.

UWEC'S ITM Online Help Collection
I have been searching for ready to use documentation for Office XP. Surpisingly, the Microsoft site has some interesting stuff geared for education, but much of it uses features that don't work in our current network environment and they won't allow you to edit the documents.
I stumbled across a well done set of documentation from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. They were nice enough to give permission to use the documentation for training, so there is no need to reinvent the wheel in re-creating docs for common Office XP tasks. This should be a real time saver.

Bartleby.com: Great Books Online -- Encyclopedia, Dictionary, Thesaurus and hundreds more
This is a great resource for free books online. I was surprised to find so many titles that were useful - esp. writing reference materials.

Glen Echo Park - Spanish Ballroom - Dances
The newly renovated Spanish Ballroom at Glen Echo is my favorite spot to go to for dancing. There are regular contra, waltz, and swing dances there featuring live music.
