This browser add-in reduces clutter and visual distractions on a page. It enables text readers such as Click Speak (Firefox) to work better. It could also be used to strip iffy ads from websites teachers want to use with students. In addition, Paul Hamilton reports that it also strips clutter from pages you're importing to Kurzweil using the KESI Virtual Printer. Wow!
Students can create a virtual museum box in which to collect items such as text, photos, video, and uploaded items needed to make an argument, describe a person or historical/geographical site etc. Students can also view other museum boxes and comment. For classroom use ideas, see Kelly Tenkley's Jan 06, 2009 post at iLearn Technology. This website was inspired by Thomas Clarkston who carried around a real museum box of artifacts to make a case for the abolition of slavery. It would probably be great for the PG group that's planning to do a Barkerville Unit.
Excellent site with online math manipulatives. Would be great on the SMARTBoard. A digital library containing Java applets and activities for K-12 mathematics
This is a very educational volcano simulation. After learning about the three main types of volcanoes, choose the viscosity and gas settings and make a volcano erupt. The visual and auditory effects are great! The site tells you what kind of volcano and explosion your settings have created.
