EPSY 590 VE: Virtual Environments for Learning

This is one of the resources I gave in my presentation to help teachers find digital tools that would work with their curriculum.

Students cannot ignore issues of connectivity surrounding the internet. "For most children, the key to success will continue to be sharp critical skills, strong connections, effective communication and the nerve to be creative and entrepreneurial. The difference is that we are living at a time in which all of those skills are defined by one's proficiency in connected media. Furthermore, for students facing poverty, violence and disability, online learning networks can provide empowering educational experiences that transcend the circumstances of the classroom. Ultimately, the school that ignores the connection will be the school that we will identify as a failing institution. It is therefore even crueler that policymakers obsessed with standardized test results - like Ms. Rhee and her many disciples - ignore what the connection represents."

Chicago Public School Employees can buy Microsoft Office for $15. This is directly through the CPS office and is very convenient.

A very helpful site when considering the implementation of any LMS.

A fun side-scrolling game. Not sure of the "educational value" but I'll leave that up to you to decide :)

Saw this on the EPSY 590 class feed. Love it :)
