Games in Education is a wiki with many links to online educational games for mathematics, science, literacy, global Issues, etc. There is also a list of game creation tools. Who said learning can't be fun?

This tool allows your images to "talk" in that you upload pictures, choose where you want to place a mouth and then choose your audio (phone, microphone,etc). Easy to use with laptop microphone. Great for word study, kids that need audio with text. Fun!

A great resource jam packed with excellent ideas to make learning and teaching fun and exciting. I refer to Education World Often, looking for something new, different, and/or exciting.

Many great resources: lesson planning, prof. deve., tech integration, school issues, marketing, admin.

This class has been my first experience with Moodle, and I'm loving it! Just a few years back, I would have been the first to argue that an on-line class could NEVER be as effective as a face to face class. I'm eating my words, now! Not only am I finding Moodle to be a very effective "container" for a class, but I'm even thinking that in several ways, the on-line experience is better than the face to face would be. I really want to explore this site further, and learn for myself how to use Moodle to deliver class content in an on-line environment, rather than a face to face environment.

Julie, I have been thinking many of the same things. As a staff, we were introduced to Moodle several years ago. However, with very little instruction on how to do it, it didn't go very far. I too LOVE the idea of using moodle as the 'container." I have often thought that if we did the "dirty work" in the classroom - like the reading, the researching, etc, then the students could go home and do the fun stuff - like commenting in a blog. Would that not seem like homework? Thanks for thinking the same things.

I am always looking for ways to engage my students about guidance topics. I am looking for "real" conversation with them as opposed to hearing the answers they think you want to hear. The kiwi lesson described is one of those lessons that will provoke responses that are real.
