National STEM Video Game Challenge - http://www.stemchallenge.org/resources/Default.aspx
The National STEM Video Game Challenge site is an opportunity for middle school students to design and make their own video game. The learning opportunities for students is immense but primarily develops skills such as critical thinking stills, problem solving, and creative design. The timeline shows that this challenge begins in the fall of the school year, but there are some fantastic resources (Gamestar Mechanics, Scratch, Game Maker and Open Platforms) for teachers and students to design games to support learning concepts. I've used Scratch and have been to conference sessions where teachers from elementary through high school have used Scratch games for learning.

NBC Learn and Lessonopoly sites provide some fascinating videos and lesson plans about the civil rights era, chemistry, climate change, the science of winter olympics, and the science of football. Check out these outstanding resources.
