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!

Noodle – “GoNoodle turns movement into a game and makes it easy to
be active, the kid way—silly, energetic, playful, and fun. Just press play on
hundreds of custom-created videos and get kids running, jumping, dancing,
stretching, and practicing moments of mindfulness.” (L:E; SA:A)
Wonderville – “Wonderville is part of MindFuel’s
grand scheme to help create future generations of problem solvers and
innovators – life long learners. We know not all students learn the same way,
that’s why we develop and share innovative alternatives to traditional STEM learning
resources. With over 220
interactive games, videos and activities, this online environment is designed
to help students learn and teachers teach.” (L:E; SA:S)
