Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 07/04/08

Happy 4th of July to everyone in the USA!

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found interesting this week. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Educational Technology Clearinghouse – great links to digital resources

Academic Skill Builders – great links to educational games

More for the Science Teachers: Another Collection of Science Stuff: A blog that gives great links to science stuff. Check it out!

Lookybook – you can look at picture books from cover to cover and read the summary and reviews to decide if you want to buy it.

Hunkin’s Experiments – fun experiments with food, sound, light, clothes and lots more.

These are great websites! I'm currently staying at home raising my children but these fun websites make me want to go back to teaching. The kids would especially love the games and experiments.

Heidi: Glad you enjoyed them. Maybe you could do some of the games and experiments with your own children.
