Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 7/9/10

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN. 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!

Smart.fm – “takes the burden out of learning by automatically creating a learning schedule that adapts to the individual’s performance and needs.”; different topics to choose from and learn

Fuel the Brain – “educational resources and games”

Shedd Aquarium – “contains a treasure trove of aquatic science resources for K-12 teachers and students. SEA brings the Philippines to life for your students with fact sheets and multimedia interactives based on the Wild Reef exhibit at Shedd Aquarium.”

EcoKids – “environmental education site for kids and teachers”

Time Maps – “The aim of the TimeMap of World History is to ‘communicate history in a truly engaging way’.

To do this, we use a combination of timelines, maps, and encyclopedia entries merged together to create both authoritative content and an enjoyable user experience. The result is a unique interactive guide through history, stopping at each and every civilization, empire and country along the way.”
