WTAMU Math Tutorials and Help I like how it "showcases exciting" math terms and then how the user can "click on . . . (a term) . . . to Google." At the same time there are Physics forums that can be accessed along with (among other resources) a virtual on-line Math lab ( West Texas A & M University) for GRE Math study sessions, Math for sciences, beginning, intermediate, and college Algebra. A student can go in and seek extra guidance or training (i.e. for a high school class) or it can serve as an extra challenge to tests the student's content knowledge before an exam. This part of the site is geared toward high school students (and college) while the initial page is also appropriate for elementary and middle school students. A great starter to click on a math term that an elementary student may begin to explore. I can see 4-7 grade students really liking this portion to review what they know and experiment with what the are/will be learning.

With "Back to School" signs cropping up all over stores, educators are certainly aware of the imminent countdown to the first day of school and the first few days of inservice. But why wait till August or even September to indulge in exquisite professional learning… when these Wicked Good Ideas for Professional Development are ripe …

CrashCourse videos are openly available on YouTube. This links to the Intellectual Property playlist with 7 videos. I plan to use these with the High School English Department and also in sections with professional development to set the stage with appropriate copyright usage for the upcoming school year.

This course could be used to help teachers who are interested in learning more about e-learning opportunities as flipped learning, moocs, etc. are gaining popularity in schools. I know a lot of teachers in my school district who would be interested in this kind of learning.

Google classroom can be a powerful tool for student-centered online learning. Teachers would be asked to use this source to introduce themselves to not only how to use it but how students can benefit from it. I love this source because it seems to be mostly created by high school students. The school that created it is showing how they are going to have students troubleshooting and supporting teachers throughout next years integration of classroom.

Although the entire site is rich in content and gallery, I find the civil war portion very applicable to being a digital resource at the elementary, middle, and even the high school levels. There is no need to "log in" or have a "user" account. The information is rich with primary resources as well as poignant imagery.

This would be great for students who have an interest in these topics. I am thinking students in smaller school district that don't have electives in these areas. I would share this with high school teachers and maybe even school counselors so they can direct students to learning in their subject area. I want to take the craft course. : - )
