The home page for the Discovery channel. It is a wonderful resource for science and tech interactives, videos, and images. A great place to find recent issues and topics in conservation and environmentalism.
This is an interesting site that allows users to create their own stories, using different images and info from the web. A teacher could use this to create a video or story relevant to the topic being studied in the classroom. That way, the teacher would visually engage the students and know that they can relate to the characters or stories that he/she created, allowing for a more exciting and fun classroom environment.
This is an interesting article about a topic all educators should be aware of. It is so important for teachers to understand every aspect of a students growth.
I have used voice thread in two classes here at UNCC and I absolutely love it! It is yet, another tool to use in the classroom that challenges students to be creative, learn technology and share their material with others. Perfect for live forums and discussions!
This creative resource "...generat[es] "word clouds" from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends." This would be a great classroom activity as well as a unique supplement to any lesson plan!
