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!

Digital Passport
- Students learn why it's
important to avoid multitasking with a cell phone. They consider the benefits
of focusing on one task at a time. Students
will: learn that cell phones are powerful, convenient tools for
communication, identify situations in which using cell phones can be rude or
distracting, reflect on the benefits of focusing on one task at a time.

A Thin Line – “MTV's A Thin Line campaign was developed to empower you
to identify, respond to, and stop the spread of digital abuse in your life and
amongst your peers. The campaign is built on the understanding that there's a
"thin line" between what may begin as a harmless joke and something
that could end up having a serious impact on you or someone else. We know no
generation has ever had to deal with this, so we want to partner with you to
help figure it out. On-air, online and on your cell, we hope to spark a
conversation and deliver information that helps you draw your own digital line.”

countries, capitals, oceans, flags and cities in Africa, Europe, South America,
North America, Asia and Australia, using outline map exercises!” (L:G;SA:SS)
