    Erin this looks like a great website. Although I won't be able to use it in my classroom, I can definitely see how it would be beneficial for grade school and middle school teachers. I think this will be a great resource for both students and teachers, and is very interactive. The pictures just "pop" off the page and provides great educational opportunities for students.

    This looks like an awesome website for students who are researching about marine life. There is a lot to look at and search on this website. I think I would enjoy using this website in my classroom someday.
  • Austin Jacobson on 13 Oct 13
     
    Erin, this looks like a really great website for educators! I noticed they have a section just for educators where you can see lesson plans and activities! That is so awesome! I definitely agree with Megan I can see this being used more in an elementary or middle school setting but I think it would be a great resource!

    Erin - I really like the layout of this site I think it could be a valuable site for sharing rich photos and videos for science classes I also think this resource could be used as a credible research resource for students. Here is another well done science site that is very similar. http://goo.gl/WULg4n

    Erin this looks like a great site for students who want to learn about the ocean. When I visited it I noticed just how easy the site was to navigate. Super simple for people who might now be to tech savvy. Everything was laid out in an easy to read manner. The articles looked fun and full of information. If I ever became a teacher and we were learning about the ocean this would be a huge help, because the Smithsonian is one of the most prestigious organizations in the world. The Smithsonian has many different interactive website that deal with all different parts of our planet, and the ocean is just on small sliver of their knowledge.

    I like this website, because it provides resources for teachers. There are other similar resources I used the tag: EnglishLearning.
  • Zoey Salisbury on 11 Oct 15
     
    Katie, I agree that this resource can be used efficiently for other teachers future classrooms, just maybe not my own. The reason why it would not be efficient for my future classroom is because my specific area of teaching is more towards the sciences, and my the language arts. But I did love how there were multiple different websites that were available for further information and valuable resources for teachers. I also enjoyed how there were different topics to choose from such as websites, learning resources, articles and advice, teaching resources, reference, communities & blogs, and many other related posts. This website seems to be just for teachers, especially with other the different resources that are right at the fingertips for any language art or foreign language art teacher. Especially since the resource seems to be just for the english subject or even the foreign language arts course. There were also many different tools, printables, and as they say other great stuff for ELL educators are all available. I am not aware of any other similar resources to be considered, especially since I wasn't interested in looking for ELL websites. But overall, an excellent resource.
  • Erin Keiser on 11 Oct 15
     
    Katie, this is an awesome list of resources! I think so often that teachers neglect ELL learners, especially if they aren't ELL teachers. I was just talking with one of my TESOL friends this last weekend and we both agreed that classroom teachers need to be more accommodating to their ELL students.
  • Ellie Bullock on 12 Oct 15
     
    YAY TESOL. I love seeing other teachers post about TESOL because every teacher is going to encounter ELL students in their teaching career. This is a great list of resources! I have used many of them and know that having them all in one place is extremely helpful. Since this is my future, I would definitely use this website to keep track of resources. It is for teacher use. Most ELL students would have difficulties navigating through these resources and understanding why they would be useful until a teacher helped them understand why. There are many lists on the internet for ESL help, but most have a lot of dead links. From what I looked at, this list looked very helpful!

    I really like this software! When I think of Social Bookmarking I want to use it to help me find different tools that will benefit me in my classroom. I can think of a time where I am going to want a nice mind mapping software that you can collaborate with, and I know I will be able to come and look at this resource. I agree that this software could be used very effectively, especially because it does have the collaboration tool. I believe this tool could be used both for the teacher and also the student. I could see how easily I could use this website in my life, both when trying to explain things and also in group work. I am aware of different concept maps you can create online, but I believe this one looks user friendly and I would like to explore it even more!

    This can be used to put a website into the QR code generator and made into one.When the QR code is scanned the website that was generated into it will display all of the information on the website. It can be used my teachers and students to use to manipulate for information. Multiple QR codes can be put around the classroom and students can do a scavenger hunt to find, which one is pertaining the information they need.
  • Jake Willis on 14 Oct 13
     
    I have never thought about using QR codes in this fashion and it seems like a great idea. One such way that I can see this being a huge helper is during presentations. If a student wants to link to more information but doesn't want to type out the huge URL that is associated with the site they can simply make a QR code that links to the URL and insert it as a picture. Then the other students can snap the QR and go to the website and read up on more that the presenter had to say. This would be used primarily by the students because it would be the teacher integrating it for the most part. I haven't heard of any other types of technology such as this.
  • Jamie Sebring on 14 Oct 13
     
    What a cool idea. Thanks for posting this Megan. The scavenger hunt idea is a great one to facilitate meaningful instruction.

I think this resource would be good for teachers to glim inspiration form and for Catlin's students to access information about her courses. For a teacher to have a website is a very new thing and I am sure that many teachers do but have never explored one before; good find!

This website gives a good synopsis of helpful websites for teachers to use in their classroom, it basically gives them ideas and different ways to incorporate the technology in the classroom. I have found many teachers help teachers with technology websites throughout, and most of them have been mainly for teacher use.

  • Keith Lacock on 14 Oct 13
     
    Nice find Nichol! I don't think it could hurt anything to have someone like google getting behind teachers in education. Now granted, pretty much everything they are presenting here is something that is going to turn you on to a google product, but google makes some pretty great things so I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that they do this. If you're going to put that many resources into helping teachers (and the option to help students as well) you might as well get a little something out of it yourself.

  • Morgan McFate on 12 Oct 15
     
    We just looked at this the other day in our online class! I definitely think this would be a really beneficial as a supplemental resource. Although I wonder would it be worthy enough to use in a lesson or in a classroom? By this I mean is it mainly working through slides and problems? Does it benefit to problem-based learning as much? To me it seems to be mainly for student use in that the teacher doesn't do much in helping other than giving them the links for it.
  • Anna Kron on 12 Oct 15
     
    I definitely think that if I were to use this resource in my classroom, it would be supplemental to my lessons. If students were not understanding the content of the lesson, I would give them the link to the correct videos from this website and ask them to watch. I also could see myself asking students to get a username and log into the site to work on problems so that I could see their understanding of the concepts. I think this resource could be for both student and teacher use: the students watch the videos and work on the problems, the teachers see how students do on the problems and adjust their lessons as necessary. One thing I found interesting about this website is if you click "Test Prep," the only tests that are listed are SAT, MCAT, NCLEX-RN, GMAT, CAHSEE, IIT JEE, and... AP Art History (along with a couple of others that look to be in a different language than English). Why is AP Art History the only AP test included in the test prep?! I think this is an area that this website could expand upon, but don't get me wrong, I think this is a great resource. (In particular, the math videos and lessons of Khan Academy are very strong.)

    I think that this resource can be used by teachers very easily. It gives very clear examples on how to use a few websites in an actual classroom. This is a good resource for teacher use. It isn't made for students to look at; it's for teachers to get ideas on how they can use resources. There are always going to many of these blog posts and websites that give tutorials, ideas, lesson plans, etc., but some are good and some are bad. This one is one of the good ones!
