Just like the title suggests, I want to declare to all teachers and educator out there, I have hit the jackpot! At least, probably, one of many. So if you have a “jackpot” website that you would like to share please include the link in the comments section for other people to access.
I have included the link to a speedtile site developed by sharnon007. I have been following this person on twitter and she has some of the best websites out there that are incredibly useful to teachers.

Thanks so much for sharing these resources. I am so overwhelmed by the available websites out there, so it is very helpful when people create these resource lists.
Your Welcome. I have acquired so many resource lists over the years and many of them in paper form. It is really hard to keep track of them when they are in many different places. I have an ongoing one through delicious and will add my blog post so I can access these as I need.
