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!

are typically sequences of scaffolded learning steps that employ models and
simulations to teach. A learning activity can be as simple as a demonstration
that shows a single concept, or as full-fledged as a digital textbook that
provides the entire learning media for a topic, or something in between.” (L:G;
