Join educator Bill Farren as he travels through four South American countries-three of them chosen by students. Class members will get to vote on what countries their teacher/guide visits and decide on the types of activities the class embarks on. Through their guide, students will interact with local people, ask them questions, request various media, and help solve real problems-all in an engaging format: participatory learning. Who is it for? Learners from all over the world: HS students, college students, homeschoolers, unschoolers, adult learners and classroom teachers: (HS or Univ) who'd like to enrich and connect their own class to this one.

"Personal Learning Networks (PLN) is the phrase often used to describe connections that educators develop with other educators throughout the world by using online social media. I've previously written more specifically about how ESL/EFL teachers can best create this kind of network, but I thought it would be useful to bring together a broader collection of resources that could be used as guides by any educator."

"This self-guided course using Web 2.0 tools, such as blogs, wikis, Twitter, and social networking/bookmarking sites, will help you begin to build your personal learning network and prepare you for participating in a connected learning community as a whole."

This looks really interesting, Michelle. Have you done it? What are the fees?

National Geographic Maps: Tools for Adventure is the best everything-map site I have seen. The site was created by the Children's museum of Indianapolis. Maps are presented as the keys to adventure. Students learn to use maps to find their way, share information, look at patterns, and solve problems. There are six excellent interactive games for students to practice putting their math skills to use. Students can explore a pyramid by guiding a robot to hieroglyphs, find sunken treasure, explore Mars, go on an adventure, see GIS in action, and visit Adventure Island. I love the realistic feel of these games, as students explore and guide robots, they get a "live" video feed of where they are navigating. On the National Geographic Maps: Tools for Adventures site, you will find information about the Indianapolis exhibit, how to use maps, related map links, and lesson plans. This is one of those websites that my description just won't do justice to, be sure to check it out!
