    This article is a great resource for IWBs because it is inspirational and provides the reader with a variety of ways to make full use of IWBs in the classroom (even more ideas are included in the comments section!). This would be a great resource for teachers who are looking for new and interesting ways to put their IWBs to full use.

Writing with Writers |Scholastic.com - 0 views

  •  
    I think this is a fantastic resource for English teachers because it connects students with actual authors through author-planned workshops, which serves as a motivational tool and keeps the class interesting. Also, it provides teaching plans that comply with national standards and student activities based around each type of writing. These workshops would be perfect for display on an IWB because of the IWB's interactivity.

HowStuffWorks "Learn how Everything Works!" - 1 views

  •  
    When I was little, I had a book called How Stuff Works. I used to reference it all the time because I was curious about everything. Conversion to a website format makes it that much easier to find what you need and to add additional videos as technology advances. I think that this would be a fantastic reference website for any classroom.

      These videos seem like fantastic resorces for History, Social Studies, Science and Math teachers, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of content geared toward English or Literature studies. - Loren

Why Are Finland's Schools Successful? | People & Places | Smithsonian Magazine - 2 views

  • We prepare children to learn how to learn, not how to take a test
    • Loren Kurpiewski
       
      This is what we should be focusing on doing - creating life-long learners. Students should be excited over the process of learning, not just the end result.

      This is a fantastic, inspiring example of an edupunk-style assignment! This would definately keep the students interested and engaged because it encourages them not only to learn about the subject, but champion it.

GOOD Video: Future Learning Engages Students with Lessons On Demand - Education - GOOD - 0 views

  •  
    I saw this video the other day on Google Reader. It sparked my interest because it is a very interesting idea and could be a great resource for teachers and students alike. I think on-demand video learning is going to be a huge part of the future of the classroom, and it is a great way for students to get a fuller understanding of something that maybe wasn't discussed in as much detail in the classroom.
