Lesson Planet has been a huge help since I was in college. I have been a member all 5 years of teaching and use a lesson that I find through the site almost weekly. It's helped bring out my creative ideas and turn it into a fun lesson for my class. Most web sites cater to general education but this is a staple in my special education class.
