GREAT website for political cartoons. Since my lesson plan assignment is to create a political cartoon involving US foreign policy, this would be very useful for me. Also a great resource to show what cartoons are great and what ones are not-so-great (or WAY politically-incorrect)

Not sure if this has been posted yet (there are more and more articles to comb through), but I thought this was a great article. This article features eleven online programs that can be used in the classroom. I love this list because a few of these resources are ones I can use with my video project! However, I kind of think some of these are "cheating" because not all of them are free :(

The author of this blog has addressed the issue of gaming in the classroom. He says that until gaming creators produce educational games that rival the quality of entertainment-only games, they will only be supplemental tools for the classroom and not primary teaching tools. BUT he does list a few really cool games he already implements in his classroom. I played around with some and was impressed--and interested in rummaging around on their home websites.

This article brings up the very valid point of who will be paying for our classrooms with all the new technology available to us now. The article also addresses the subjects of what our classrooms will look like with this influx of new technology and if we will ever see them in our lifetimes. This really reminds me of one of the pitfalls we discussed in class: you know, the Veruca Salt problem--gotta have it all RIGHT NOW.
