Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 7/10/09

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my Personal Learning Network (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!

Tube Chop – if Youtube is blocked in your district, try this. It “allows you to easily chop a funny or interesting section from any YouTube video and share it.”

Do2Learn – “games, songs, communication cards, print resources and information for special needs”

Whyzz – “whyzz is the place where parents with curious young children can find and contribute kid-ready information about how the world works!” Great for teachers too!

Download a Dinosaur – “Designs for easy-to-make paper dinosaurs that you can download from this site and print out on your printer. All that is needed is scissors and glue. Soon your office will be overrunning with raptors. How about triceratops with names on them as place settings at a kid's birthday party? Or a 30-minute crafts activity?”

Paper Models of Civil War Soldiers - Here are designs for easy-to-make paper Civil War soldiers that you can download from this site and print out on your printer. All that is needed is scissors, clear tape, a stapler and glue.
