Decent video tutorial on how to create a virtual tour with Google Earth. Cool idea for social studies students, or perhaps when studying famous literary authors and landmarks.
The collective blog of those on the front lines for Teach for America. Although I don't necessarily agree with the TFA program, these teachers are teaching students who are just like the ones I will teach some day.
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 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.
Facebook email may not be very secure. This article gives very good reasons why we should not mix our social networking services with our email services
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.
A good example of a social studies video project from Brittany. The music gets too loud and distracting at one point, but if the audio was improved, I like how she gave a good analysis of a social studies topic and then showed good examples.
For a web-based learning to be truly effective it must be interactive. This means that it is not just a reformatted canned lesson of printed worksheets placed on the web. The web-based activity is inquiry-based and incorporates the full features available on the web - interactivity between computer and student. The learning activity must engage student critical thinking skills by using the scientific inquiry process.
