This website demonstrates how one Canadian high school science teacher has organized her website (thanks to her IT husband...) as a functioning platform for her students to complete DI assignments and interact with one another.

While this particular teacher's website makes my head spin, it does provide an idea of how I can make my own School World site more interactive as well as design my own site as a platform for students to refer to throughout a unit.

Direactly from the website: "The NWP Digital Is website is a collection of ideas, reflections, and stories about what it means to teach writing in our digital, interconnected world. Read, discuss, and share ideas about teaching writing today."

Canadian teacher's blog/website about technology for teachers.

This website introduces the educators who have developed the concept of a "flipped classroom", where direct instruction takes place at home and work that would traditionally be assigned to do at home is now completed at school.

Directly from the website: "Bring your class assignments, student projects, and course materials alive with 21st century approaches to communication. Produce graphic novels, illuminated term papers, visual science reports, photo essays, and other engaging alternatives to traditional reports and student products. These concrete products reflect student understanding and provide an alternative to traditional forms of assessment."

Directly from the website: "This Google Site has been set up by Dr. Helen Barrett to focus on the use of Google Apps to create ePortfolios. On this site, there are instructions on how to use the different elements of Google Apps to maintain e-portfolios." There is a TON of information here to filter through.

I found this site while researching for a Moodle I am putting together. I wanted my students to be able to read the novel online and not have to pass out books every day. The site listed is blocked by the District, but if you put in a tech ticket, Mike Tucker open it for your use. After posting this yesterday, I foudn that the site listed above is having difficulties today, and I am unable to get into the novel that I wanted my students to read (The Outsiders)! I'm disappointed, but will try back later to see if they were just updating the website.

Thanks, Gwen, for letting us know.

Sure, I thought it was a great "find", but I'm afraid it's down and not going to be available! If anyone finds a site like that, where kids can read novels online, I'd love to know.

I found this site while perusing for new ideas. Thought it was cool. Maybe you are already aware of this, but I wasn't. Check it out.
