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!

My Study Life – “It's time to say goodbye to your paper
planner. My Study Life is everything your paper planner is and more. Rotation
schedules, assignments, revision, exams? My Study Life has it covered on all of
your devices. Oh, and did we mention it's free?” (L:G; SA: A)
SeeSaw – free iPad app; “Seesaw is a
student-driven digital portfolio that empowers students (as young as 5!) to
independently create, capture, and store artifacts of learning.” (L:G; SA: A)
100 Word
Challenge – “It is a weekly creative writing
challenge for children under 16 years of age. Each week a prompt is given,
which can be a picture or a series of individual words and the children can use
up to 100 words to write a creative piece. This should be posted on a class
blog and then linked to the 100 Word Challenge blog. The link is usually open
from midday on Sundays until midnight the following Saturday.” (L:G; SA: LA)
NASA
Soundcloud - Here's a collection
of NASA sounds from historic spaceflights and current missions. You can hear
the roar of a space shuttle launch or Neil Armstrong's "One small step for
(a) man, one giant leap for mankind" every time you get a phone call if
you make our sounds your ringtone. Or, you can hear the memorable words
"Houston, we've had a problem," every time you make an error on your
computer. (L:G; SA: A)
eSkeletons
– “eSkeletons provides an interactive environment in which to
examine and learn about skeletal anatomy through our osteology database.” (L:G; SA: S)
