bulletAnimation Factory  I actually found that it has the US state flags, now I can put the MD flag on my website. some really cool stuff.  Darren
bulletAnimation Factory  It is a web-site for clip art. All of the clip art on the web-site are animated and free. It is very easy to use. I incorporated an image on my resource page of my web quest. Using this type of clip art could make a web-page enjoyable to look at. However, too many on one page could be very distracting. Kathy
bulletAnimation Station.  This site includes about thirty categories of animated graphics for web page design. Downloads are quick and the variety of graphic choices make this site valuable to anyone making a web page. Alex
bulletWeb Developer Animations  This website is full of animations from A-Z....literally.  You just click on the letter of what you are looking for and a world of animations are available. The site also links you to other sites that are cool for web developing.  Margaret
bulletGlobal Guest This site offers free guest books for web pages. You answer a few basic questions and you get the "code" for a guest book to copy and paste right onto your page.  Kristen
bulletBoogie Jack's Web Depot  The Cool Tool I have chosen to share is www.boogiejack.com. It was created by Dannis Gaskill and is sponsored by ArtToday.comInc. This website has many, many pages of free backgrounds, left border backgrounds, button sets, divider bars, banners, buttons, and bullets. Background Magic can be downloaded free and allows you to design your own background! The site also includes tutorials, software reviews and computer tips.  Susan
bulletBellsNWhistles  This web site is basically a hub for free website building resources. The site allows the user to link to various pages and download from the sites. Resources include buttons, bullets, tags, pop up windows, graphics, guest books, counters, banners, frames and more! Anything a user would need to build a website can be found using this site. I think it is a great tool. Larry
bullet Bookmarks for Education  This site is a wonderful resource for people of various levels ofcomputer experience. It offers links to everything that you need to know from web construction resources, links to wequests resources, educational resources, Netscape Communicator resources, Copyright/Fair Use resources and many, many more. I definitely recommend this site for supplementary use.  Tanya

bulletTips for Developing School Web Pages  Jennifer
bulletTammy's Technology Tips for teachers   This a web-site created by a Instructional Technology Specialist for an educational service center called ESSDACK (Educational Services and Staff Development Association of Central Kansas). She has a masters degree in computer-based education from Kansas State University. I found the presentations very informative. Especially All Web Pages Are Not Created Equal and Multiple Intelligences And Technology. She also has great links for teachers. She is awesome!!! Pam
bullet#1 Free Clip Art I found many web sites that are great for creating websites, but I liked this one because it shows all the different categories right away, you don't have to search the site before you find the categories. It has a lot of categories, including borders and backgrounds all at this one site. So this is my cool tool. Elisabeth
