mocomi.com

Mocomi.com is an online kid's magazine that has articles on everything from poetry to science experiments to civics lessons. Some of the articles are to be read as an ebook that you can download onto your computer and some are videos. But all the videos involve reading to get the information (there is no reading aloud option). But it is such I wide variety of information that it should easily engage most students. In addition, teachers can use the the videos or ebooks in the classroom for instruction or remediation. There are a some very simple online games included in the site as well that you could use on your SmartBoard. A great resource!
