When I was trying to adjust to the new curriculum and new exam, this site helped me to determine the differences and provided a number of great resources to use in class

This is a blog where a student organizes information of the psychology course.

This is a good site for finding extra readings on topics that pertain to Psychology. The articles are well written and fairly short and straightforward allowing access to the complex ideas for ESL learners. It is also a great site for "study mining" if you are interested in expanding your options on studies relating to the different concepts in Psych. (I especially like PSYBLOG)

I really love this, and have used it often. A great suggestion. Thank you.

This is a good blog page in which you can find 40 blogs selected from the very general to specific and academic.

Exactly as it states. This is a great general resource to help students just getting started with the Abn Psych options, or as a resource for those who are interested in learning more about psychological disorders. Although not strictly linked to the IA, it is a good website.

Great! Don't worry about it not being directly linked to the IA. I have added another tag so others can search for it as well.

This is a great video about a young girl who had to have a hemispherectomy. My students found it fascinating.

I liked this video although I thought it was a bit too short

The website for a series describing the fascinating processes involved in brain development across a lifetime, helping students understand otherwise difficult scientific concepts.

Provides information about the brain. The most interesting is that within its chapters has a large number of links that can be very useful

Title: The Meaning of Difference: Beyond Cultural and Managerial Homogeneity Stereotypes of Latin America Citation: Patricia Friedrich, Luiz Mesquita, Andrés Hatum, (2006) "The Meaning of Difference: Beyond Cultural and Managerial Homogeneity Stereotypes of Latin America", Management Research: The Journal of the Iberoamerican Academy of Management, Vol.

This is a very interesting article about stereotypes, specifically in Latin America. This can not only help me and other Latin American teachers but also to others from different nationalities and cultures, so they can use this as a comparison to their own and help the students develop a broad vision of this topic.

Attention is, by definition, limited. And that's usually a good thing. If you're searching for a lost earring on the floor, you want to ignore anything that's not small and shiny. When talking to someone at a party, your mind helpfully tunes out all of the other voices prattling on around you.

This is a class website, with so many amazing resources, videos and ideas. It is a lot of information, but has a ton of great sources.

A student's handbook about Cognitive Psychology. This is the free demo about memory but if you subscribe, you can get into all contents. 

I love using TED Talks in the classroom. Here is a  great one on concepts of abnormality, normality and the DSM

An international group of neuroscientists has sliced, imaged and analysed the brain of a 65-year-old woman to create the most detailed map yet of a human brain in its entirety (see video at bottom). The atlas, called 'BigBrain', shows the organization of neurons with microscopic precision, which could help to clarify or even redefine the structure of brain regions obtained from decades-old anatomical studies.

This is from TED Talks and is Jill Bolte Taylor discussing her experience of having a stroke from the perspective of a neuroscientists. Interesting talk that my students really enjoyed.

This is my all time favorite for ethics and experiments. We saw the whole movie. I think it is very valuable since it is made with the actual kid who suffered the impact of unethical experimentation, lack of parent will power, and a scientific context that thought new it all.

hello Gonzalo! My students love this case study. They always become shocked after hearing this story and want to learn more about ethics in psychology. Thank you for this link!!!

Thank you Aneta, It is a magnificent example of how science, naive parents and ambition can really make life miserable....all in good intentions! (beware of good intentions! hahahaha)

This looks like a nice resource for qualitative methods instruction.

A really good interactive site - click on View any module to see the options

Thank you, Sarah - what a great site!

I love it!

This is a great site for the abnormal psychology option. It provides statistics and information on a range of disorders. I found it useful for PTSD and MDD.

I like this page because it has a lot of information and research that might be useful for the sociocultural level of analysis.

This is quite good for introducing the IA and giving guidelines.

Thank you in particular for this. Have added it to my blog.

A good beginning for students - responding to questions that come up from a presentation like this can lead to less larger issues later in the process.

I do not know much about sports psychology. Since this is a possible topic our students can choose, I better start brushing up. Here is an up to date journal that gives free abstracts on the latest in sports psychology.

Thank you Heath - I am teaching this option at the moment, and am short of resources. Great!
