This site has many wonderful ideas and great information for children
in K-6. It works in themes such as science, social studies and language
arts just to name a few. It also has print outs of many subjects and
also maps that students can label. I think this is worth looking at.
Enjoy.

I used it during one of my recent observations and it went very
well. The students were engaged, I used technology and it was relevant
to the curriculum.
http://www.smartphonesource.com
This site is actually a message board for new "smartphones," which
are combinations cell phone and PDA, with a web browser. The site
offers a lot of info for any "gadget freak." What I found
impressive is the availability of information and pleasant help
from other. More that just a comment board, the site revolves around
offering assistance, tips of various things such as setting up
links, mobile web, PDA's, MP3. Just post a question and someone,
usually many people, will help. It is nice to see good use of communication
here, no derogatory comments or advanced users making new visitors
feel tech-stupid.
