An interesting video about how social and digital people are now a days. This video was made to explain the importance of internet advertising to marketers, but there's application to teachers too as we try to understand our students' worlds.
This is an interesting website. I could see it being a valuable resource for university students, but also a way of cheating. It connects to your Facebook and you can upload class notes and materials to share with other students. What do you think? Would you encourage your students to use this? What would you do to make sure it wasn't used for cheating?
I like the Edublogger--I think she has good ideas. This is her list of blogs that she reads. I'll have to check them out sometime to see if I can pick up some new favorites from her list.
Guess how many social networks there are? (such as Facebook, MySpace, Goodreads, etc.). 350+ such technologies! This is an interesting list of as many of them as we know about, organized by subjects. There are some interesting student ones, geared more for university students.
A member of our class shared this on their blog. It's another great site for finding material with flexible copyrights that are easier for us to use and reuse on the Internet or in projects.
This is a federal web page that lists some habits in their children parents (and teachers!) need to watch out for that could signal harmful Internet usage.
This website has lesson plans, but especially it has tons of web resources. One of the coolest ones I found was http://web-japan.org/kidsweb/, where there are so many resources to use if you were teaching a unit on Japan. That's just one example. There are tons!
This has activities applicable to language arts, social studies, math, and science for grades Pre-K through 12th grade. They were actually pretty interesting. Very diverse.
