    IF you can't get enough of the Olympics or if the fact that NBC has cartoons on today instead of the Olympics -- you can watch whatever sport you want live here. Again, the line blurs between television and the Internet.

  •  
    If you want to teach about the Olympics, the TES forum out of the UK is where the great content is being uploaded daily. There are two activities of note, one is Olympic Games: Now and then and another is about Greek Ideas and what has been passed down. Many interesting lessons by grade level.

    If you want to follow what is happening on twitter about the olympics -- summize has been bought by twitter so it is now officially "twitter search." You can pull the rss feed from this and add it to your Olympics page if you wish.
  •  
    Another great way to help teachers understand rss - use summize (now twitter search) and let them it.

    Website to promote community service - curriculum and awards program.
  •  
    This seems to be a great organization with curriculum, information and a structure to plan community service projects within your class. Students can earn points and an awards program exists as well. I've gotten permission for our Special Olympics Bocce Ball event to be an ad hoc event to support this cause. We have over 50 students who serve as officials for Special Olympics Bocce Ball players - it has become a very large Special Olympics Event in the State of Georgia. Join in!

Lesson Plans on Persistence - 5 views

  •  
    As you talk about the Olympics beware of putting too much emphasis on gifts. Many people are gifted but few are willing to pay the price of persistence and seeking of wise counsel to get where they are. It is a great time to look at habits and examine our own. Are we Olympic in our pursuits of our own dreams or are we happy to sit in our chair eating popcorn complaining about how we never get a lucky break.

    "It was hard! As a teacher, I think sometimes we say that technology is going to make teaching easier. It's not. It's going to make it different."
