Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 12/9/11

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 Chimp – “We collect free online math games and organize them by the common core standards. We're glad you've come to play cool math games here... they're free and always will be!”

Life on Minimum Wage – interactive simulation from Free Technology for Teachers (Mr. Byrne)

Web Rangers – online activities about the US National Parks for children

Math Open Reference – good geometry resource

The Great Energy Challenge – from National Geographic; great information about energy!
