This blog was Edublog's winner for the best teaching blog. In browsing through this blog, I found a variety of information that is useful for teachers across all subject areas!
I think this is a great resource because it goes right along with what we are learning. It gives a little help on using technology in different settings. Just a fun site-check it out.
This site is a really good reference for teacher so they can promote literacy. I know this is a technology class but as teachers we need to make sure our students can read well. Otherwise they won't be able to make use of the technology.
This is a good website for future English teachers to take a look at. It gives many links to websites that can help with things like teaching poetry and grammar as well as how to make a lesson plan. It also provides the links to other teachers.
This website is a gold mine of websites and information that is useful for teaching, and the best part is that most of it is based on classroom safe web practices.
I don't think we should have students just playing games all the time, but they can be a good arrow in the quiver of teaching methodologies. This is an interesting article into the use of games to teach core subjects, like science.
If you need to embed an audio player into your Google website, or other website, this website gives some great and simple methods. This could be useful for posting a podcast on your site.
Great example of what I think is a student video project on the Giver. An example of how video projects can be used to show student understanding of a book's themes.
Strategies are provided for taking advantage of Wikis to provide opportunities for students to collaborate with other students, share what they have learned, and become a centralized online resource for educators.
Yet for women in developing nations—far more so
than in wealthy countries like those in North America and Europe—there is
also reason to be fearful. One in five African women, for instance, will lose a
baby during labor or soon after. And each year, hundreds of thousands of women
in Africa will themselves die or suffer debilitating injuries during pregnancy
and childbirth. In this quiz, get a sense of the stark disparities in maternal
health for women in rich and poor countries.
Compares two women on opposite sides of the world and their pregnancy. This would be really good for a Child Development class or even a World Geography Class.
