1. Laura's Midi Heaven! A variety of .midi files available for download. Features folk songs from around the world and some classical and ragtime pieces. Note that the midi format results in synthesizer-sounding keyboard music, so there are no vocals and no “orchestration” – the music is pretty simple. www.laurasmidiheaven.com 2. Thinkfinity.org, previously known as MarcoPolo, is the Verizon Foundation’s comprehensive online portal and program to more than 50,000 standards-based, K-12 lesson plans and other educational resources provided by some of the nation’s leading educational organizations. www.marco-polo-education.org/home.aspx 3.Can you believe it? Your parents just put you in charge of the family vacation. They want you to plan a trip to a Utah county that is at least 100 miles from your home. (I guess your parents don't want you to be too close to home but not too far either.) Your mind must be racing with ideas, but you're limited by the time and money your parents have saved for this trip. Thanks to each county's travel department, who would love to have your family visit, you have many resources available to help you plan this trip. The difficulty will be to make your plans doable and cheap (or as your Dad would put it, “inexpensive.”) You also want to make sure each person in your family gets to see or do something they really are interested in. You found out that your Mom wants to see some of the natural wonders of the area (rivers, lakes, geological features, etc.), your Dad wants to see some of the historical sites (museums, monuments), your siblings want to do something fun (swimming, playgrounds, dinosaurs), and you want to do and see some things that are interesting to you. So get ready to be the family travel agent and plan the best vacation your family has ever had. www.uen.org/counties/webquest/index.shtml
