I recently discovered Star Wars in the classroom http://www.starwarsintheclassroom.com/index.asp and it's an awesome place!
In keeping with all that is excellent about the Star Wars universe, this site (curated by some dedicated educationalists) provides a great meeting place for people like me.
Who exactly are 'people like me'? Those who love Star Wars and can see how to use connections from Star Wars in their teaching.
The site is not just a fans convention (we are self styled as Rogues - my profile name is Rogue 120), but a great place where teachers share classroom resources that they use to supplement their lessons from Star Wars.
If all that sounds a tad geeky well - so what. Imagination is more important than information - remember!
As well as a plethora of static images, my classroom walls contain Star Wars posters and a number of quotes from the movies (yes - it's true, I love both trilogies and I'll be bursting to see The Force Awakens in 2015)
My all time three favs: Your focus determines your reality, there's always a bigger fish (both Q-G J) and Do or do not, there is no try (Yoda).
Those are three great messages: Focus! Be humble! Carpe diem!
Not geeky at all!
May the force be with you, always!
