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!

The Global Classroom 2012-2013 - “We invite you to watch, listen, and share as we explore new ways to connect, share, learn, and collaborate globally.” (L:G ; SA: A )
The Why Files - “The mission of The Why Files is to explore the science, math and technology behind the news of the day, and to present those topics in a clear, accessible and accurate manner. We are based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but The Why Files covers science at all institutions that engage in scientific exploration and discovery. We hope our work will help explain the relationship between science and daily life.The Why Files produces a new story each week, alternating longer features with shorter shorties. We also post a series of interactive science animations, the ever-popular “Cool Science Images,” a series of Teacher Activity Pages linked to the national science teaching standards, The Weather Guys, and Curiosities. Eager to explain the science behind the news, our home page reprises older stories that become relevant to the headlines.” (L: G; SA: S )
Science Net Links - great resource to find science lesson plans (L:T ; SA: S )
Teach Your Monster to Read - “new, free game to practice the first steps of reading.” (L:E; SA: LA)
Symbolab - “is a semantic web search engine for math and science. It allows users to search for equations, formulas and expressions using mathematical symbols and scientific notations as well as full text search.” (L:H ; SA: M, S)
