    YouTube/TeacherTube

    This website allows teachers to incorporate video clips in the classroom to help facilitate learning with a new topic. There are many videos that are designed around "sensory modality view" in this website (Mayer, pg. 9). Students are using their eyes and ears to view and listen to the demonstrations provided through this website. Students are also able to have a better understanding of process and labs prior to completing the lab independently in class. This can be used as learner centered when students are learning to use teacher tube.
    Web 2.0 Cool Tools for Schools
    http://cooltoolsforschools.wikispaces.com/
    This is a wonderful wiki that can be used by any educator that wants to incorporate technology into the classroom. The teacher resources are amazing. There is everything to help students stay engaged in the classroom in almost every academic setting along with professional development opportunities. The collaborative tools are wonderful tools that can be used by teachers to bring in multimedia in the classroom using virtual tools that students can find very engaging. The activities are learner-centered and cognitive based.
    BrainPop
    www.brainpop.com
    Brainpop is a great tool to use in the classroom, but the site is limited on the topics that have been discussed. Tim and Moby are great cartoon characters that can bring topics to life for students that may need to visually see and hear the information in a different way than explained by the classroom teacher. Struggling students can learn topics such as the American Revolution through watching a cartoon instead of listening to a lecture, reading guided notes, or reading a chapter from a text book. Students watch a short five to seven minute video followed by a quiz to assess the knowledge obtained from the segment. The student engagement is learner-centered and cognitive based
