    This looks like a great resource for anyone in education, teaching or learning. It is well organized and provides links to a lot of useful free tools. I wish I had this stuff when I was growing up.

    This looks like a great resource for elementary teachers, providing so many links in one place. It is like an annotated bibliography, presenting various resources for teachers to use, making it easy for us to navigate. Though I plan to teach in secondary education, some of these categories could still be used with high schoolers in my English classroom, especially Google and the Research & Reference resources. I think that teachers in elementary education will find this resource very useful, and I could even show it so some of my high school students so that they would have different things to explore if they were interested. I found a similar website that compiles resources from around the web, focusing on Language Arts education: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/lang_mid.htm. Here, there are citation guides, research help, online literature links, and many other great activities for the LA classroom.

    This looks like a great resource to keep on hand for teachers! I feel like it should be used mostly by teachers and they should definitely take advantage of it. Too often do teachers use the same routine every day and use stuff out of books! Why not go on the computer and research things that can spice up your classroom.

    This is a great resource for teachers to use in their classrooms to enhance learning. It has a WIDE variety of useful tools that can make learning more fun and engaging. I would recommend that the teacher scans through these options prior to opening them up to students. The teacher could select a few good ones and show them to the students to use during class or at home. I do no have any bookmarks similar to this one, but I am sure there are a lot out there that could be just as helpful. Thanks for sharing the great resource!

Rich environments for active learning - 2 views

  •  
    This article highlights some of the topics discussed during a virtual meeting (UNI - INSTTEC4131/5131) on 11/16/11.  "Rich Environments for Active Learning, or REALs, are comprehensive instructional systems that evolve from and are consistent with constructivist philosophies and theories. REALs provide learning activities that engage students in a continuous collaborative process of building and reshaping understanding as a natural consequence of their experiences and interactions within learning environments that authentically reflect the world around them."

    Thanks for sharing this wiki Hailey. I really enjoyed the information and links about 21st century learning that were available. The site is easy to use and provides information that is both relevant and meaningful to instructional technology. With so much out there it's nice to find both attributes.

    I agree that is Wiki is a great resource that can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. The Wiki contains a lot of great information for teachers to use in their classrooms to "move forward" and incorporate technology and 21st century skills into their classrooms. The site has easy to navigate categories and gives meaningful, relevant, and constructive uses for 21st century (student) skills.

    There are a lot of great links and information in this resource. The Wiki is beneficial for classrooms who want to learn about how to integrate some of these activities into their daily schedule. For example, the Wiki provides resources for Wikis, Podcasts, gaming, digital storytelling, and much more.

    This webpage has 17 different Web 2.0 tools and provides links to various resources for each of the 17 tools. I would use this personally for instruction. I would also have my students use various tools listed, such as survey makers, presentation tools and word cloud generators as a classroom tool.
