I loved exploring HippoCampus. The educational video, test prep, and simulations were amazing. I am exploring the topic English, specifically "Crafting an Effective Writer" and have found this video on being a successful online learner. The videos are informative and I could see my English teacher using them and it even applies to this course right now.

I think I would start here instead of Khan Academy because this resource includes Khan Academy along with 7 other collections that focus on math.

Great resource for students needing extra support and supplemental materials. Will be shared with English teachers as the videos and outlines for essay writing are quite helpful.

What is Pressure? Very interesting simulation for students.

Kind of nifty -- a chart of situations where teachers might assign "traditional" work such as a worksheet, with a more student-centered option for each. The suggestions seem to address the core need and look reasonably easy to implement.

"Search for certified K-12 online courses. Learn about student services, postsecondary enrollment options (PSEO), and online college in the high school (OCHS). Obtain college, career, and financial aid planning resources. Access library databases to do homework, improve studies, and complete a quick review of subjects. Engage in interactive tools to enhance learning. "

I think that YouTube has changed the world, for better or worse. I know when I am having trouble with a set of directions, I look for a video on youtube. Recently, it was my daughter's violin that wouldn't tune. I had no clue what it should sound like, but thanks to YouTube I had it fixed in under 10 minutes. Thanks, YouTube! Whether you're doing research for a project, need help with homework, or just want to learn something new, YouTube EDU features some of their most popular educational videos.

This is a podcast series that would be appropriate for our 8th graders doing NHD research. Each of these podcasts could be assigned as homework a couple of nights before these topics are covered in class so that students come into class with a basic understanding of the content to be covered that day. I guess it would be a little bit like "flipping" the class for that day. The teacher could have a quick discussion about detecting bias in primary sources based on the information from the podcast and then the rest of the class could be freed up for students to actually rotate through primary sources and practice detecting bias.

YouTubers, Authors, Philanthropists - John & Hank Green provide high quality educational videos in a variety of educational content areas. Economics, World History, US History, Literature, Astonomy, Chemistry, Politics & Government, - the list goes on! Very engaging and relvant videos for students. TLB

I think this is a great channel of video resources that my coworkers can use to change it up a little for students. They will find many topics/lessons that they currently teach on this channel. I will encourage them to use them in their classrooms, assign them for homework, assist with studying for a test or any other ways they see fit!

I would use this site to introduce concepts to students. These short videos are great attention getters. For example, I could use the video on Diseases to help students understand how far we have come in medical advances and to assist them in gaining an understanding of how easily diseases are transmitted. These could also be used as a flipped classroom format. Students could watch the content, take notes, and come prepared for the activity the next day.
