Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 11/19/10

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!

Math Open Reference – Geometry terms, “Mission:   A free interactive math textbook on the web. Initially covering high-school geometry.”

The Avalon Project – by Yale University; lots of copies of historical documents throughout history

Vocabahead – Vocabulary study videos for SAT, ACT, and GRE.

Strip Generator – create your own black and white comic strip; it was pretty easy and fun

mybrainshark – upload slides and record your voice for each slide; great way to add presentations to your website, blog, or wiki
